“Until the last moment … we fought to ensure that Bulgaria and Romania were admitted to the Schengen zone,” Burbok told a press conference in Dublin.
The non-adherence of Bulgaria and Romania to the Schengen zone after Austria’s veto is “a bad day for Europe”, said German Foreign Minister Analena Burbock.
“Until the last moment… we fought to ensure that Bulgaria and Romania were admitted to the Schengen zone,” Burbok told a press conference in Dublin.
“I think this is more than a mistake in European terms but also in geopolitical terms,” ​​he said. “Instead of boasting that we achieved a good and strong day for Europe, we must claim that this is a bad day for Europe.”
EU home affairs ministers approved earlier today Croatia’s accession to the Schengen area from 1 January 2023.
On the contrary, there was no unanimity in the EU Home Affairs Council on the accession of Romania and Bulgaria to the Schengen zone, despite the Commission’s positive assessment that the two countries meet the conditions for Schengen accession.
