(ANSA) - BELGRADE, DEC 7 - On December 8, the Justice
ministers of the European Union are scheduled to meet to decide
whether to accept Croatia, Romania, and Bulgaria into the
Schengen region, which allows more than 400 million people to
travel freely among its member states. The EU Council stated on
its official website that "ministers will discuss the full
application of the Schengen acquis in Bulgaria, Croatia, and
Romania and will aim to adopt decisions on this matter."
In addition, ministers will evaluate the overall condition of
the Schengen region. Austria and the Netherlands have expressed
opposition to Romania's and Bulgaria's accession, while no
country has expressed concern about Croatia's readiness,
according to international media. (ANSA).
