Bulgaria and Romania to co-operate on child protection

On July the 19th 2006 Bulgaria and Romania signed a letter ensuring co-operation.

Co-ordinated child protection efforts of Romania and Bulgaria would focus on children living on the streets, victims of child trafficking and school dropouts. Re-structuring of specialised child care centres, measures against abandoning and reintegration of children from minority groups would be among the other priorities of the mutual efforts, Bulgarian news agency BTA reported.
The document also envisions co-operation for the de-cetralisation of social services and a common set of criteria for the provision of such services. The two countries would also follow together the implementation of these measures and would work on the creation of a common child protection information network.
