For the time being there are no nationalities discriminated against in the area of reception. However, some of the reception centres are used for accommodation predominantly of a certain nationality or nationalities. For example, prior to its closure, Vrazhdebna shelter in Sofia accommodated predominantly Syrians and Iraqis, Voenna Rampa shelter in Sofia accommodates almost exclusively Afghan and Pakistani asylum seekers, while the other reception centres accommodate mixed nationalities, such as in Harmanli reception centre, Banya reception centre and Ovcha Kupel shelter in Sofia. The government had also assigned Vrazhdebna shelter in Sofia to host applicants coming through the relocation scheme in 2015-2017 as well as for those resettled from Turkey.
