3 February 2022

Miglena Ilieva and Lorraine Dewar have written an article for ILPA titled “Number of Romanians and Bulgarians Stopped at UK Borders Soaring”. In the article, they explore some of the possible reasons underlying the trend of increasing numbers of Romanians and Bulgarians being stopped at UK borders. Indeed, Romanian and Bulgarian nationals accounted for more than 65% of nationals of EU member states initially stopped at the border in the third quarter of 2021.
