Romania's prime minister Victor Ponta stated on 7 September 2015 that his country would officially request admission to the European Union's Schengen area if mandatory quotas to accept refugees were decided by the EU. Romania's intention to join the Schengen agreement had been previously blocked by older EU member states that link its accession to progress in fighting corruption and improving the country’s law-enforcement system. The same applied to Bulgaria, who also tied its willingness to host refugees with its Schengen application process. |
