In June, Dimitar Glavchev told journalists that he had prepared a project for the expansion of another border crossing - the "Malko Tarnovo" border crossing. Then Glavchev together with the ambassador of Turkey Mehmet Sait Uyanak visited the checkpoint. Experts from the two contact groups - Bulgaria and Turkey will specify other details and details of the project, noted Glavchev. The main thing is that we already have agreement from the Turkish side to widen the Malko Tarnovo - Derekoy road, he pointed out then.
Days later, Glavchev also visited the "Kapitan Andreevo - Kapakule" border crossing, having previously commented that the modernization of "Kapitan Andreevo - Kapakule" is part of the caretaker government's overall plan to modernize all border crossings.
