Czech police expected to help Bulgaria with immigration problems: president Zeman

Czech president Miloš Zeman has said that Czech police should be sent to Bulgaria to help safeguard the border with Turkey. Zeman said that specific talks about this help, similar to that already given to Macedonia, were underway. He said he expected them to lead to a result soon. The Czech president’s comments came during an official visit by Rosen Plevneliev. Discussions also dealt with the problems two Czech power companies with distribution assets in the country have been having in Bulgaria. Plevneliev is visiting the Czech Republic for two days and was later due to meet with prime minister Bohuslav Sobotka. Talks were expected to focus on bilateral economic relations.
