The Schengen area is a group of European countries that have agreed not to check the passports of people crossing the borders between them. This means that people can travel freely within the Schengen area without any problems.
The Netherlands has given its consent to Bulgaria’s accession to the Schengen area. The decision ends a long-standing dispute between the two countries. Reuters reported this on Friday, December 15.
Previously, the Netherlands did not want Bulgaria to join the Schengen area because they feared corruption and migration. However, as the agency points out, Bulgaria currently fulfills all the conditions for joining Schengen.
