An unexpected position from a country hostile to us for our entry into Schengen!
Austrian President Alexander van der Bellen approves the membership of Bulgaria and Romania in Schengen. He stated this to journalists after inviting the representatives of the International Press Union in the country to a meeting today at his official residence – the Hofburg Palace in Vienna.
“You know that my opinion differs from that of the government, which imposed a veto, and despite the recommendation of the European Commission to accept Bulgaria and Romania, does not back down And argues its decision with the migrants who arrive in Austria, but they do not come from Bulgaria and Romania, and from Hungary,” said the head of state, quoted by BTA, and continued:
“I think that the government should better protect its investment interests and not only in the financial sector. Austria is an investor in both countries. Let me add that tens of thousands of nurses from Romania work in our country, taking care of elderly and sick people”.
Our position is that the acceptance of Bulgaria and Romania will optimize the Schengen regime, will allow the concentration of more resources on the external borders, will favor migration processes, including and the issues of readmission and granting of asylum, said the Speaker of the Bulgarian Parliament, Rosen Zhelyazkov.
He expressed hope that the Bulgarian position would be well understood and articulated in the Austrian society=
