Imposing more conditions on Bulgaria for Schengen entry 'unfair': EU

Imposing additional conditions on Bulgaria for its entry into the Schengen area is "unfair" to the efforts made by the country, European Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic said Monday.
During a press conference, after a journalist reminded him that Austria and the Netherlands were opposed to Bulgaria's participation in Schengen, a visa-free travel zone in Europe, Sefcovic underlined that both Bulgaria and Romania are facing the same situation, adding the two countries are doing everything possible to prepare for membership.

The issue of multiple countries offering the option of building a wall to protect external borders was also brought up.
