President Klaus Iohannis declared that Romania has a high chance of entering the Schengen area
In Prague, President Klaus Iohannis declared that Romania has a good chance of entering the Schengen area. Asked by the RRA reporter, Alina Stănuţă, if there are any guarantees in this regard, the head of state specified that we do not have such a guarantee, but the chances are better than in other circumstances.
Klaus Iohannis: There are chances, because the need for unity in Europe has become even clearer with the war waged by Russia against Ukraine. And this unity can be strengthened if Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia become part of the Schengen area. After so many years of waiting, I think all leaders have realized that this step can only enhance the unity of the Union and our soundness of approach.
In this context, the head of state, Klaus Iohannis, announced that a visit of experts to Romania is being prepared, who will come to see, after 11 years, what has been achieved in terms of fulfilled conditions. Decisive political discussions will take place, however, in December, within the Justice and Internal Affairs Council, Klaus Iohannis also said. A long-awaited visit is also that of the Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, who will come to Romania next week. The Netherlands is the country that continues to oppose the admission of Romania and Bulgaria to Schengen. (RADIO ROMANIA NEWS)
