Send to KindleBulgaria's Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov has expressed hopes that Bulgaria will be able to join the borderless Schengen Area at the end of 2011.
Speaking on the priorities of Bulgaria and the Hungarian EU Presidency on Wednesday, Mladenov declared that the Bulgarian government is convinced that it will have fulfilled all technical requirements and criteria to become part of the Schengen Agreement by March 2011.
March 2011 was the deadline set for the Schengen Accession of Bulgaria and Romania but recent indications on part of Western European states and reports about Bulgaria's technical border control problems have made it highly unlikely that the deadline will be met
"We hope that after March 2011, having met all technical criteria, we will allow the EU member states to take a decision shortly that Bulgaria should join the Schengen Area by the end of 2011," Mladenov declared in Sofia Wednesday.
"Bulgaria's accession to the Schengen Area is of extreme important in all directions and aspects, you can imagine that, and there is no need for me to explain it to you," Mladenov told journalists while mentioning the Foreign Ministry's other priorities during the Hungarian EU Presidency.
