Schengen Issue in Bulgaria on the Table at the Summit in Brussels
The Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev has put the Bulgarian issue with the Schengen entry on the table during the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States Summit 2015. The president informed his listeners that Bulgaria has treated its commitments very responsibly. Mr. Plevneliev stated the question for Bulgaria’s accession to Schengen area during the first integration state as he feels Bulgarians should not keep on tolerating the postponement and the double standards.
Bulgaria has been fully prepared and ready for entering the passport free travel zone of Schengen for many years already. The local institutions have taken all precautions and the reforms made in the Judiciary system have shown great results. According to the Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev Bulgaria should be included in the first stage of the accession – opening of the marine borders.
