Bulgaria will probably fail to enter the Schengen Agreement in September, too, according to Bulgarian MEPs from all parties oppositional to the country's ruling GERB.
On Friday, it was made clear that no decision on Bulgaria and Romania's bids to enter the Schengen Agreement will be taken earlier than September.
There are no guarantees that Bulgaria's Schengen accession issue will be resolved in September, Filiz Hyusmenova, a MEP with the ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms, told the Bulgarian National Radio on Sunday.
Bulgaria's Schengen membership is an aim the country's government has failed to reach, according to Kristian Vigenin, a MEP with the left-wing Bulgarian Socialist Party. Vigenin has stated that the centrist-right GERB's biggest mistake was letting the Co-operation and Verification Mechanism be tied with Bulgaria's Schengen bid.
"Bulgaria has a problem with trust, not with its technical preparedness," Svetoslav Malinov from the right-wing Democrats for Strong Bulgaria Party has commented. Malinov said the European stance on Bulgaria's Schengen entry may change to positive before September if Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov is replaced.
Bulgaria and Romania were expected to enter Schengen in the spring of 2011, but their entry was blocked by countries such as France, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland, who had worries that problems with organized crime and corruption might jeopardize safety in the Schengen Area.
The Netherlands will continue opposing the two EU newcomers' Schengen aspirations until its sees two consecutive positive CVM reports.
