Debate: Schengen: Romania and Bulgaria to become full members
Source: euro|topics
Bulgaria’s borders will not be completely open even after its accession to the Schengen Area, Sega explains:
“Judging from what we know so far, there will be a significant easing of restrictions on travel to and from Greece. This is no small thing when you consider that Bulgarians make around two million trips to Greece every year. … However, the situation is different at the other internal EU border with Romania. According to what we know of the negotiations so far, there will be a period of at least six months during which border controls will be maintained. … And although they haven’t said it openly, the Austrians apparently want a second constricted crossing point in addition to the Bulgarian-Turkish border.”
