Bulgaria Protects Schengen Borders Properly

At a briefing after the Border-2016 drill, the Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov stated that Bulgaria keeps its engagement towards Europe by properly protecting the external border of Schengen, even if not being officially part of the visa free travel zone in Europe. The Prime Minister of Bulgaria commented the situation in Drama.

Several weeks before that the EU Commissioner on Internal Affairs and Migration Dimitrus Avramopulous stated that the Schengen Zone and the free movement of people and goods should remain. The commissioner gave his opinion after a joint meeting between representatives from Germany, Sweden and Denmark in the headquarters of the European Committee. The meeting followed Sweden’s establishing of an obligatory check on the documents of all citizens coming from Denmark. On its side, Denmark will be checking the people coming from Germany.

According to the EU Commissioner on Internal Affairs and Migration Dimitrus Avramopulous, all participants at the meeting agreed that these border measures should be limited for the saving of the Schengen area spirit. Norway was the 10th country from the Schengen zone, which decided to bring the border control.
