Extension of the Communication Infrastructure of MoI

The pre-defined project aims at strengthening the interoperability and coordination of the national law enforcement authorities. This will be achieved through development of TETRA communication systems at areas of the Bulgarian-Greek border which are used as channels for illegal migration; trafficking in drugs and human beings as well as sex tourism and slavery. Secondary movements of illegal immigrants from Greece are also expected in the stated areas with the future Bulgarian accession to the Schengen area and will be addressed by the project. The project will further contribute to improvement of the capabilities of the Bulgarian law enforcement to exchange information and secure communications with the Greek counterparts. The project addresses the needs for better radio coverage along the Bulgarian-Greek border and in particular the regions of Blagoevgrad district (the towns of Bansko and Gotse Delchev) and of Smolyan district (the town of Dospat). The pre-defined project is included in the signed Programme agreement between The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and The Central Coordination Unit within the Council of Ministers.
