''Bulgaria could join the so-called Air Schengen'', President Rumen Radev told reporters on Sunday. ''This is a step forward, but we must be very careful not to be left with the label ''Bulgaria is in Schengen now'', Rumen Radev said. ''It is critically important to open the land borders'', Rumen Radev added. In his words, the conditions set by Austria are difficult for Bulgaria to accept.
