Strengthening Greece-Bulgaria cooperation against organized crime
Greece and Bulgaria have signed a new, significant agreement aimed at strengthening their bilateral cooperation. This initiative focuses primarily on combating organized crime operating in the border regions of the two countries.
The agreement provides for the exchange of information and better coordination between the police authorities of the two states. The relevant agencies estimate that closer cooperation will help in identifying and dismantling criminal networks that exploit the common borders for illegal activities.
Border security is a priority for the European Union, and this specific move is part of efforts to ensure public order in the Balkan region. Both countries have committed to working together to address modern challenges, such as smuggling and the trafficking of illegal goods.
The signing of this agreement is expected to improve the effectiveness of law enforcement authorities, offering greater security to citizens living in areas near the borders. Both sides emphasized that cross-border cooperation is essential for tackling organized crime, which knows no borders.
