Grateful to have accompanied German and Austrian journalists to Romania, an opportunity to showcase Romania’s management of its borders and the fulfillment of the Schengen catalogue standards to the highest level. Here, at the border crossing point with Ukraine – Isaccea.

Romania and Bulgaria have demonstrated their capacity in relation to border management and returns. The European Commission has stated it many times: they are ready and should benefit fully from the Schengen area!

The visit was organized by our colleagues in EC Representation in Berlin and we were happy to assist with local knowledge and logistics.
