"We receive the information they have in a timely manner, so that we can organize the movement on our territory, but Greece is a sovereign state, albeit a Schengen member," the chief commissioner said.

Minister of Interior Daniel Mitov and Anton Zlatanov inspected the operation of the system for citizens outside the European Union at the Kalotina border checkpoint, the implementation of which began last year.
