Joining Schengen by the end of the year remains one of Bulgaria's main priorities. This country highly appreciates the support of the European Parliament on the issue. This is what the Speaker of the National Assembly, Rosen Zhelyazkov, said at a meeting with Speaker of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, within the framework of the EU Conference of Speakers in Prague.

Zhelyazkov pointed out that Bulgaria’s accession to Schengen would contribute to security and unity in the EU and would be beneficial to Bulgarian citizens and businesses. He also added that Bulgaria relies on support from the European Commission and partners to strengthen the Bulgarian-Turkish border, the security of which is of great importance for all European countries.
