Austrian Minister of the Interior Gerhard Karner stated that his position against the admission of Bulgaria and Romania in the Schengen area by land remains unchanged. "For me, it is now important that we comply with the agreed entry of Bulgaria and Romania by air and water," Karner said.
He added that this compromise was reached after tough negotiations and with clear conditions for the next steps. The conditions of Vienna include both countries accepting back registered refugees currently residing in Austria, as well as guaranteeing the security at the external borders of the EU with the help of additional officers of the border agency Frontex, the "Horizont" program of the BNR has reported.
