CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES OF SECURING NATIONAL BORDERS – MILITARY PERSPECTIVE
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2008, Vol 27, Issue 2
Abstract
Durind the recent years, the Bulgarian institutions have worked actively on the implementation of the government’s policy in the area of security, and have made a considerable progress in the area of border control, visas, migration, asylum, fight against organised crime and terrorism. Therefore, the security risks to the country were minimized, and the border security was increased. The accession of Bulgaria to NATO and to the EU have increased the responsibilities of the institutions ensuring the national security and the internal order, including the security of the state’s sea borders and the protection of the sovereign rights of the country in the seas. Taking into account the existing circumstances on regional, European and world scale, Bulgaria has been working towards the building of reliably operating border controls in order to ensure the internal security and the public order in the border areas and facilities, as well as in the maritime areas of the country. The described specific feature of the security environment testify that, as a result of the contemporary positive changes, there is no threat of a global military opposition. There are no challenges, risks and threats from a direct military aggression against Bulgaria and the sovereignty of its national borders. Besides, the responsibilities increase as Bulgaria is the EU outer border. Our country is a part of the common European zone of security, freedom and justice.
