Ursula von der Leyen: Bulgaria and Romania fully belong to Schengen

"Bulgaria and Romania belong fully to Schengen. Abolishing checks at land borders is the last hurdle".

This is what European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said after informal meetings in Budapest.

"I welcome the positive outcome of the informal discussions today in Budapest. The next stage is a formal decision. Let 2025 bring a stronger Schengen," she added. | BGNES
