Bulgaria's full membership of the Schengen area is a fact! By taking this decision, the Council of the European Union has laid the grounds for a New Beginning on Bulgaria’s European path of development.
After today’s decision, Bulgaria is now part of the zone of free movement across EU internal borders.
Congratulations to all governments and politicians with whom we have worked jointly to enable Bulgaria to assume its deserving position in upholding the European security zone to which our country belongs both in terms of civilisational history and values!
