A joint Greek-Bulgarian co-ordination centre will be launched on the Kulata-Promahon border checkpoint to combat crime, the Bulgarian national television reported on March 18 2010.

Respective authorities from each country agreed to open a co-ordination centre in April 2008, its aim being to combat organised crime along the Bulgarian-Greek frontier. The centre will be staffed round the clock by Bulgarian and Greek border police.

In theory, this is supposed to provide authorities with "augmented flow of real-time information", better co-ordination and efficiency. It will provide access to information banks in both countries, linking them with border police and transport administration authorities.

This will be the second such co-ordination centre. The first one was at the Bulgarian and Romanian border in Guirgui, BNT said.
