  2. Yo guys, tell the Romanian and Bulgarian president to tell Austria and Holland that they’ve told Ukraine to bomb more refineries. This will work, 💯

  4. They are in the Schen area now. To get in fully, they’ll wait till next gen. 😛👍🇪🇺

  5. I am not feeling partially glad, more like completely angry.

  7. At this point keeping only these last two countries out of a Schengen is ridiculous and insulting. Also I do not see any particular reason for doing so. Romania got back on its feet in terms of economics and Bulgaria, while being worse off, is small in terms of population and not really hurting anyone so what is with the fear?

    This constant bickering and divide between EU nations (east, west, left, right, history this and that…) is what makes Russia so dangerous. It would not stand any chance against solidified EU block of nations, even with US out of the picture.

  8. Congratulations on joining Schengen from Aliexpress!

  9. Why can’t just Austria and Netherlands just let it go? This looks like a half-assed joke.

  10. We let you in the council, but we do not grant you the rank of master

  11. If someone goes to Romania, will they leave the Schengen zone or not? This could be interesting for visa purposes. Visa free tourists can only spend 90 days in the Schengen area, staying in Romania didn’t cont before, now probably does. So I guess you guys fully joined the Schengen zone, they just didn’t abolish the land border controls. Which is one of the main benefits I know.

  12. “Partially” bruh that’s to me is even more insulting

  14. I don’t see how this works. I will enter Bulgaria via Greece on a land border, thus leaving Schengen, in a few days. Then I’m flying back home to Denmark on an intra-schengen flight without passport control? How does this work?

  15. So partial means only schengen free zones for people arriving by flights or ships? But still border checks if arriving in a car?

  18. The acceptance may be partial, but the insult is whole 👌

  22. What does this mean to non-EU citizens by the way?

    If they decide to visit/move to Romania/Bulgaria, will they issue a Schengen visa or a national visa? Will they be able to travel to the rest of the union then, or…?

  23. They’re both in the EU what’s the point of keeping them out of Schengen man…..

  25. “You are on this council, but we do not award you the rank of master” vibes

  26. My feeling is that this it’s actually worse than a complete refusal….

  27. God those Austrians better get their shit together before we get any ideas

  28. There you have it!

    Second Class citizens in the EU, because in Austria and the Netherlands train of thought we birth all the illegal immigrants from Syria, Afghanistan and the rest ..

    Who knew?!

  30. Congrats friends and brothers and happy travel!

  31. I mean, I’d love to be in Schengen, but I can’t blame them for being sceptical of us. Idk about the political situation in Romania, but it’s a mess here in Bulgaria.

  32. “Visa-free”? Even news agencies don’t understand what Schengen means
