Czechia is in the Presidency of the Council of the EU until 2022, with Prague designating the enlargement of the Schengen area as one of the priorities of its Presidency. In the course of their conversation, PM Fiala reaffirmed Czechia’s support for Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia and their joining Schengen without further delay.
