The budget required for the operation would be approved within a week, mediapool.bg said. Mikov and BSP representatives discussed how to cooperate in maintaining effective, round the clock surveillance of the entire borough with CCTV surveilance.

Setting up a surveillance centre which would be link to central police precincts has been discussed, mediapool.bg said.
