The caretaker cabinet approved Bulgaria's participation in European Commission campaigns for the voluntary relocation of third-country nationals seeking or having received international protection from countries under migration pressure. According to the decision, 25 persons will be relocated in 2024, and 100 in 2025, with the support of the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund.
Voluntary relocation is a mechanism through which third-country nationals who have applied for international protection in an EU member state are relocated to another member state that has voluntarily agreed to receive them on its territory, to review their applications for international protection and to grant them refugee or humanitarian status.
