Bulgaria Already Acts Like a Schengen Country

In an interview for a well-known media, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Daniel Mitov was asked about how close the country is to Schengen. He stated that Bulgaria in fact already functions as a Schengen country and as we have we met the criteria and are doing well as an external border of the EU we deserve at least for the air borders to be opened.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs stated that the German Foreign Minister is looking favorably on the attempt of Bulgaria to become part of the Schengen Information System. The German Minister further stated that the Schengen zone would require full and adequate information on the movement of people from their countries and borders in order to block people that do not have the required passports to enter the Schengen zone. The Minister of Foreign Affairs Daniel Mitov stated that his German colleague was committed to bring the issue before the Interior Minister of Germany.
