Borisov blames the Schengen postpone on the political crises

According to the former prime minister of Bulgaria, Mr. Boyko Borisov, the country failed to enter the Schengen zone because of the political crises it was in. During a meeting of the Council of Ministers he stated that Bulgaria could have entered the Schengen zone by air on March 14th as only the Netherlands were against that. The political turmoil in the country however set an alarm to all the member states of the Schengen passport free zone. It became clear that the debate on the acceptance of Bulgaria and Romania in this border free area was postponed for the end of 2013. Certain diplomatic sources stated however that the two countries will not be accepted before the spring of 2014, even if they have very positive results in the reports that will be issued in the end of the year.

Bulgaria and Romania have to show better and more convincing results on their fight against the organized crime and the corruption. Mr. Boyko Borisov in his capacity of Prime Minister and his government resigned from power at the end of February and are preparing for early elections on May 12th.
