Now that Bulgaria and Romania are both in Schengen, was this very secure border taken down?

  1. This monumental landmark should never be taken down

  2. We should never forget about this border which separated us for so many years

    Never forget

  5. And how the drunks from Vama Veche will know where to stop and not drink in another country, heh?

  7. This should be preserved as a national (international?) heritage monument.

  8. Are you crazy!? That would take years of planning and an absurd EU-funded budget!

  9. Just as many cities around the world have a piece of the Berlin Wall, I, too, have jeans hanging in my closet to commemorate this now-defunct frontier.

  10. This great piece of architecture should remain as a historic landmark similar to the Brandenburg gate

  11. And how do you suggest they remove it ? Short of bunker buster bombs, I can’t think of anything that could possibly make a dent on such a structure.

    Its there to stay for centuries to come unless we come up with some exotic technology.

    We never know…

  12. Apparently both countries use child labour to build castles and fortifications on either side of that wall which are repeatedly washed away by the sea.

  13. Fellow Romanian brothers and sisters, we need to preserve such unique historical cultural sites, not destroy them!

  14. I like to think that that coast is actually a huge oceanin one seen from above with birdeye view, and that those sticks and jeans are actually gigantic.

  15. This is not a border, this is a modern art exhibition. In fact, this should be preserved and marked as UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  16. “Look, we spent 1.5 billion € to secure the border, we’ve reached the 5% defense expenses”

  18. Now thats a wall, you guys mind helping us improve our own?

  22. I always enjoy seeing photos astronauts take of this border from the international space station

  24. Wait until you guys find out what’s on Romania’s side of this border. Legend says no man has been there twice and not complained about it getting shittier and vowing to never come back, until next time when they come back and complain again.

  25. Never underestimate the power of a minor inconvenience to deter people.

  28. извинете-mă, but why is (was?) it in Romanian __and English__ and not in Bulgarian? English is hardly an EU language at this point, save for Ireland.

  29. I can imagine the answer is: “No, why, its fine..” However happy to burn imaginary borders between, not just neighbors but in my opinion family.

  30. # MR. RADEV, TEAR DOWN THAT couple of sticks and that rock there, and there is also a bottle, I guess?

  31. This photo is old, at least 15 years or more and NO, it doesn’t [look like that now](https://youtu.be/QEY2DO22qMk?t=522) and it didn’t look like that in the last few years before Schengen. That “art” was made by hipsters from Vama Veche a kind of Romanian Burning Man.

    And regarding the border crossing controversy, it is recommended to do it on the functioning access roads, if you do it in the field it attracts the attention of the police and maybe you will have a free ride and a check at their station, use only the roads, the official paths, railroads, it is a strong recommendation.

  32. i unironically think this should be preserved in a glass box or resin or whatever. it’s basically absurdist art

  37. Tear it down??!!

    Spruce it up and start selling tickets!

  38. You can just go around, i used to go to the bulgarian board offshore shops to buy cheap drinks, that boarder pass should remain as an historical monument

  39. Fun fact: This can be seen from the international space station.

  40. Aliens helped building this after they finished the pyramids

  42. If so, it should be done gradually, lest the flood of migrants overwhelm society.
