Rumunija i Bulgaria will become from January 1st full members of the Schengen zone, the ministers of interior affairs of the European Union members decided today.
The green light followed Austria's decision to give up the veto. Bulgaria and Romania were supposed to join the Schengen zone in 2023 along with Croatia, but this was stopped by Austria, which considered that they were unable to cope with the sudden increase of migrants arriving via the Western Balkans route.
Romania and Bulgaria partially joined the Schengen zone in March this year, when controls for their citizens were abolished at airports and ports, but not in road traffic.
The interior ministers of Hungary, Austria, Bulgaria and Romania agreed in November to take the necessary steps to set a date for the lifting of land border controls, provided joint efforts to curb irregular migration continue.
