Bulgaria, Romania try anew to join passport-free zone

Croatia is expected to get a green light

08 December, 12:02
(ANSA-AFP) - GIURGIU, DEC 8 - Bulgaria and Romania fear further disappointment when EU ministers meet Thursday to review their elusive decade-plus long bid to join Europe's passport-free Schengen travel region. The two poorer European Union countries want to smooth trade with the rest of Europe but face concerns from Austria in particular over migration from third countries. EU justice ministers meeting in Brussels will debate the bids from Romania and Bulgaria as well as from Croatia, whose request is expected to get a green light.
