A quadripartite meeting between Greece, Bulgaria, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Albania was held in Thessaloniki on October 5.
The main topics of the meeting were migration, countering terrorism and organized crime. The participants focused on the need for rapid exchange of information between different services for the purposes of immediate response and prevention.
Greek Minister of Public Order and Citizen Protection, Nikolaos Toskas and Bulgarian Interior minister Valentin Radev, expressed readiness to maintain and build upon the active political dialogue between the two Ministries of Interior, established since the beginning of 2016.
They stressed that the operational cooperation with the Greek police is at a very high level.
They also pointed out that the best European and Schengen practices are applied – parallel investigations and joint operations, effective work of the bilateral joint police and customs cooperation centre in Promahon, and the trilateral centre with Turkey at the Kapitan Andreevo border checkpoint – joint patrols in the resorts.
