US anti-drug agency opens office in Bulgaria
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(washingtonpost) A U.S. anti-drug agency has opened a new office in
Bulgaria, which lies on a major drug trafficking route linking Western
Europe, the Middle East and Southwest Asia.

Drug Enforcement Administration chief Michele Leonhart attended the opening
in Sofia on Tuesday and praised the growing U.S. partnership with Bulgaria
in fighting the flow of drugs.
The Balkan country, a European Union member since 2007, has stepped up
border inspections as part of its efforts to join the visa-free Schengen
area in Europe.
Last year, Bulgarian officials seized a total 423 kilograms (931 pounds) of
heroin and 361 kilograms (794 pounds) of amphetamines at the country’s
borders.
