Romania and Bulgaria to Sign Declaration for Full Schengen Membership on November 22
Romania and Bulgaria Advance Towards Full Schengen Membership
Bulgaria’s Caretaker Prime Minister, Dimitar Glavchev, announced that on November 22, 2024, the interior ministers of Bulgaria, Romania, Austria, and Hungary will meet to sign a declaration supporting the full Schengen membership of Romania and Bulgaria. The meeting will also discuss additional measures following their partial Schengen accession earlier this year.
Significant Progress on Border Security
Glavchev emphasized that irregular border crossings at the Bulgarian-Turkish border have decreased by 70%, demonstrating effective border management, a critical criterion for Schengen membership.
Optimism Ahead of November 22 Meeting
Romania’s Interior Minister, C?t?lin Predoiu, expressed optimism about progress towards full Schengen accession. Predoiu noted that "the pieces are well placed" for Schengen membership via land borders, but stressed that no final decision has been made yet.
Phone Call Between Romania and Hungary
On November 20, Minister Predoiu discussed Romania’s land border Schengen accession during a phone call with Hungary’s Interior Minister Sandor Pinter, who holds the rotating EU Council Presidency. Predoiu also held meetings with Austria’s Minister Gerhard Karner and Bulgaria’s Minister Atanas Ilkov, seeking to align positions and secure further support for Romania’s membership.
Timeline for Full Schengen Membership
- March 31, 2024: Romania and Bulgaria joined the Schengen Area via air and sea borders, but land border controls remain in place.
- December 12, 2024: A positive decision on full membership is expected, according to Bulgarian President Rumen Radev.
- January 2025: Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu anticipates both countries will join the Schengen Area via land borders.
EU Commissioner Confirms No Remaining Obstacles
European Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson recently expressed confidence that Romania and Bulgaria’s full integration into the Schengen Zone will be finalized by the end of 2024, citing no obstacles to completing the process.
As Romania and Bulgaria prepare for full Schengen integration, their commitment to border management and cooperation with EU partners highlights their readiness to join the EU’s borderless travel area fully.
