Bulgaria vs.Holland, cynicism and not solidarity on Schengen
Protest after vetoes on Sofia's accession
03 December, 15:37Bulgaria has recently been experiencing heavy migratory pressure on its 260-kilometer-long border with Turkey, and the government is committing substantial resources to deal with it.
The agenda of next week's Justice and Home Affairs Council (JHA) meeting includes expanding the Schengen area to Croatia, Bulgaria, and Romania.
According to diplomatic sources quoted in Sofia media, there are no objections to the proposal to accept Croatia. Still, the Netherlands is against Bulgaria's accession, whereas Austria is against both Bulgaria and Romania. The Netherlands' veto on Bulgaria was made official yesterday by the Dutch government.
