Espace Schengen: Vienna blocks Romania and Bulgaria, Croatia should pass
This Thursday, we will know if Europe will say yes to Zagreb for free movement. For Sofia and Bucharest, on the other hand, it will get stuck. Austria has already announced that it will oppose it.
Austrian Interior Minister Gerhard Karner announced on Thursday that he would vote once morest the enlargement of Schengen to Romania and Bulgaria during a meeting with his counterparts in Brussels, thus blocking the entry of these two countries in this area of free movement.
The European ministers must also decide unanimously on the accession of Croatia, which should be approved, except surprise.
