The decision to reject Bulgaria and Romania Schengen bids is not fair and undermines the European principles of solidarity and unity. This was what President Rumen Radev said in a video conference call with the President of the European Council, Charles Michel.

Speaking about the expected discussion between European leaders on the extension of Schengen, Radev said that setting additional requirements for membership, which were outside the objective criteria for admission, was unacceptable.
