34,000 places will be made available for Ukrainian refugees to be relocated from their hotels to state structures, interim Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev, who heads the National Headquarters for Refugees, said.

State-owned homes along the Black Sea coast will be filled first. Then the Ukrainian settlers will be gradually settled inland.

Demerdzhiev said the lists of people to be accommodated should be updated. Checks need to be carried out to verify which of the refugees are truly socially disadvantaged. "Of the 14 000 people checked, it turned out that 3200 were not in the accommodation where they were listed," Demerdzhiev said. He called on parliament to vote on a permanent solution to accommodate the refugees
