Bulgaria wants to join Schengen under current conditions

Bulgaria will insist on joining the Schengen zone under the current conditions, and only then will consider complying with additional criteria, according to the country’s Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov.

The Bulgarian PM has been firm any additional conditions must be the same for all EU countries.

“Currently we have fulfilled 100% of what Brussels asked us to do and we demand having a date and a decision on Bulgaria’s and Romania’s joining. After that, if there are additional criteria for all members, of course, we will comply,” Borisov is quoted saying.
