Bulgaria inaugurated five new coast guard patrol vessels to guard the Black Sea border to EU as a measure to meet the requirements for accession to the Schengen Agreement.
The new coast guard ships, which will be part of the Burgas Regional Border Police Directorate, were launched with a special christening ceremony Saturday in the presence of Prime Minister Borisov and Interior Minister Tsvetanov.
„We are going to do our best to be admitted to the Schengen Area in 2011. At the end of October we expected six new ships that will guarantee the border control along the Danube River,“ the PM said in Burgas. (more on novinite.com)
