Bulgaria: New Ships to guard Black Sea Border

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. (…) All five new ships have been included in Bulgaria’s integrated system for the observation of the sea border, which is part of the European External Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR). They will be taking part in operations of the Frontex Agency, coordinating the operational cooperation between member states in the field of border security under the European Patrol Network project.
