We have the support of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU for Schengen, said Deputy Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mariya Gabriel in Davos. "It was important for me that the Schengen issue would not be sidelined. Yes, we know that we already have one of the dates- March 31. But let's not forget that we have the sentence that a date should be set in 2024 for the removal of land border controls. That means to me that even now these negotiations are taking place. Active and intensive work must continue. I have received support from Prime Minister Alexander De Croo for Schengen", Mariya Gabriel said.
In her words, there is another very important topic. "The first priority of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU is the rule of law, democracy and the fight against corruption. Bulgaria must continue in this direction", Mariya Gabriel further said.
