Bulgaria ready to build fence along border with Greece if needed

Bulgaria stands ready to raise a fence along border with Greece in case of an emergency, Bulgarian Defense Minister Nikolay Nenchev said during a visit to Kulata crossing on the border with Greece on Wednesday, New Europe reports.
Bulgaria already has close to 2,000 policemen guarding its 260-kilometer frontier with Turkey and is currently extending a 30-kilometer razor-wire fence there. Moreover, five days ago, Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borissov announced that over 400 troops and other security personnel will guard the Bulgarian border with Greece, amid fears the migrant flow along the Balkan route will pick up since the government of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) decided to close its border with Greece.
On Wednesday, Nenchev visited Kulata to check the coordination between the Bulgarian Army forces and the Bulgarian police forces in the area where they were sent on 5 May. “I saw for myself that the coordination is very good,” Nenchev said and added that under the current situation there is no need for the building of the fence. The Bulgarian Minister also said that the military can contribute more soldiers, if the migration flow into Bulgaria from Greece increase.
