"There are no negotiations with Austria. We are discussing the next steps with the European Commission’’, Premier Nikolay Denkov said in response to a question whether there is a progress in the negotiations for Bulgaria's accession to the Schengen Area by land. Premier Denkov is answering questions from citizens and the media on Facebook.

"The process is coordinated by representatives of the European Commission. That's why the talks are mainly with them", explained Nikolay Denkov. "The only resistance comes from a few politicians in Austria who have the right to make this decision. Bulgaria has support from all other member states’’, Premier Denkov added. This is a decision that is beyond the control of the Bulgarian authorities. We are strengthening the external border, acquiring more equipment and reducing the number of migrants crossing the border. Bulgaria is doing extremely well in this regard", said Premier Dankov.
