Denmark supports Bulgaria to join Schengen, Inger Støjberg, the Minister of Immigration and Integration of Denmark said on 30th of January during her visit to Bulgaria, reports BNT. 

She visited Capitan Andreevo checkpoint and observed the security of the border with Turkey.

Police and security had to intervene to help the Danish immigration and integration minister escape a potential assault by a crowd of rejected asylum-seekers, indignant over her decision to focus attention on only one family in the deportation facility.

The Danish government has extended control of the southern border with Germany until May 12th next year, citing migration as a key concern, The Local writes. 

Temporary controls were implemented on the border in January 2016 and have remained in place since.

Denmark has stopped admitting the nearly five hundred refugees received via the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) every year, reported AFP.
