欧盟官员说,保加利亚和罗马尼亚可在2025年1月前加入申根边界无管制区。 Bulgaria and Romania may join the Schengen border-free zone by January 2025, EU officials say.
据匈牙利官员说,保加利亚和罗马尼亚可在2025年1月前成为申根旅行区的正式成员。 Bulgaria and Romania may become full members of the Schengen travel zone by January 2025, according to Hungarian officials. 这些国家于2007年加入欧盟,但直到3月才被纳入无边界申根地区,当时取消了海上和空中旅行的边界检查。 The countries joined the EU in 2007 but were not integrated into the borderless Schengen area until March, when border checks for maritime and air travel were lifted. 由于奥地利对非法移民的关切,陆地边界检查持续存在,但在内政部长会议之后,奥地利解除了反对立场。 Land border checks persisted due to Austria's concerns about illegal migration, but after a meeting of interior ministers, Austria lifted its opposition. 最后决定将于12月由欧盟内政部长作出。 The final decision will be made by EU interior ministers in December.
