Romania slams Austrian for “unjustified” Schengen veto

“A single member state chose to ignore these realities and block European unanimity, in an inexplicable way that is difficult to understand for the entire European Union. The regrettable and unjustified attitude of Austria in (Thursday's) meeting risks affecting European unity and cohesion, which we need so much, especially in the current geopolitical context,” Klaus Iohannis said.

On Thursday, Austria’s Interior Minister Gerhard Karner said his country will veto EU members Romania and Bulgaria joining the passport-free Schengen area. (ILKHA)
