Greece will help Bulgaria with the Schengen zone

Greece is the new president of the European Union and it will be the country to approve the new agenda of the European Council. It is according to Greece to decide whether to include the membership issue of Romania and Bulgaria into the travel free zone of Schengen. The presidency of Greece will be done in a regime of austerity and the country will do everything possible its presidency to give results. The European Union presidency is done on a rotating principle. Athens is expected to hold many more than a dozen meetings of ministers, man working group meetings, various congresses, summits, conferences and seminars. Hopefully for Bulgaria, some of them will discuss the possible entry of the country in the visa free Schengen zone.

During the Greek presidency of the European Union there will be four major priorities set by the country. These will include unemployment measures, economic management of the institutions of the European Union, guarantee of the bank deposits, control of the borders, free movement of people, to name just some of them. Mr. Jose Manuel Barroso, the European Commission President believes that Greece will cope well with the presidency duties and will contribute to the stableness of the European Union.
