There is no reason for Romania and Bulgaria to be separated when they join Schengen, caretaker Minister of Justice Krum Zarkov said for Nova TV, commenting on the forthcoming visit of experts from 15 countries, who will check the implementation of the Schengen legislation. The visit of the foreign experts starts on Sunday. “I do not see why Romania should have a better chance than us. We have equal rights," Zarkov said.
In Minister Zarkov’s words, Bulgaria and Romania have jointly requested the visit to demonstrate once again that all technical criteria have been fulfilled. “The decision will be political, but its consequences will be practical. There is an obvious strong migratory pressure on the Bulgaria-Turkey border, which is an external border of the EU, and we should secure it with the forces we have, and not scatter them on the internal borders”, Krum Zarkov noted.
