The Prime Minister on Bulgaria’s Accession to Schengen

The Prime Minister of Bulgaria sees the lack of Bulgarian’s accession to Schengen as an injustice and hopes this will end soon. He expressed his thoughts after a meeting with the Prime Minister of Romania, in early June. The Bulgarian Prime Minister further expressed his gratitude to his Romanian colleague for the excellent estimate that Bulgaria received.

Boyko Borissov further stated that Romania and Bulgaria are absolutely ready to join the travel-free zone of Schengen and that they do even better than many countries that are already members of the Schengen zone.

The Prime Minister of Bulgaria stated that the country wants a no visa regime for Canada and the United States, but most of all Bulgarians want their interests to be protected. This includes traveling with no visas in the Schengen area as well. He further stated that Romania and Bulgaria have already invited the Canadian ministers to visit the two countries and to get acquainted with the Schengen system.
