Bulgaria and Romania belong fully to the Schengen area.  Removing internal controls at land borders is the last hurdle.    I welcome the positive outcome of informal discussions in Budapest today.   The Council’s formal decision is next.   Let 2025 see Schengen become stronger.

He is smiling joyfully and holding two large bouquets of colorful flowers in the other hand. He is dressed in a black shirt and light-colored pants, and the setting appears to be an academic or ceremonial hall."
