Schengen entry: more security for Bulgaria

Bulgaria has fully complied with all the requirements and criteria for being accepted in the Schengen area. This was admitted in the latest report of the European Commission that was focused on the area that requires no passports and visas. According to the report, the Commission will keep on supporting the efforts of Bulgaria and its neighboring country Romania to enter in the Schengen area, even if the member states have no one opinion about that entry. Unfortunately, Bulgaria and Romania do not have a deadline for their entry into Schengen zone, after being postponed for several times.

The two countries have been criticized because of the lack of progress in their fight against the organized crime and corruption and the insufficient results in the judiciary sphere. Bulgaria, as well as Romania, have to make efforts into improving their justice system. Once this is a fact, the two countries will be able to join the travel area of Schengen that comes with no borders. Currently, the people who live in and use the Schengen zone are around 400 million in number, according to the European Commission. By joining that passport free area, Bulgarian people will get many benefits – both from a political and from an economical point of view.
