November 9 (SeeNews) - The European Commission said that it has sent a letter of formal notice, urging Bulgaria to fix incorrect implementation of EU asylum legislation.
"Concerns relate in particular to: the accommodation and legal representation of unaccompanied minors; the correct identification and support of vulnerable asylum seekers; provision of adequate legal assistance; and the detention of asylum seekers as well as safeguards within the detention procedure," the EU institution said in its monthly infringements package on Thursday.
Bulgaria has two month to address the Commission's concerns, or the institution may decide to send a reasoned opinion on this matter.
