Today at Sofia University St. University a discussion meeting was organized on topic "Why I am "FOR " Schengen" with the participation of Ms. Monika Panayotova and Dr. Andrei Kovachev. They were invited by the Student Club of the political scientist, as the meeting appeared a continuation of the tradition of the club to conduct discussions with prominent politicians and public figures on topics with an important public purpose.
Monika Panayotova and Andrey Kovachev informed the participants what is Schengen, why it is important for a country to be a member of the Schengen area and particularly what are the benefits to Bulgaria from its accession. There were also reflected specific actions taken by the Bulgarian government, which led not only to our indisputable technical readiness at this stage, but mostly to the achievement of the unanimity and non-partisan consensus on the issue Schengen, interpreted as a national cause.
Bulgaria is a full member of the EU and its accession to the Schengen area is part of the real integration of our state. Postponement is not a trouble, but is a challenge for the country's image, while the delay of membership in the Schengen area could lead to setting new criteria and raise euroscepticism in Bulgaria. Our country may be useful in discussions about the protection of EU external borders, especially when these issues come strongly forward in the EU agenda. Benefits of membership of Bulgaria into the Schengen zone are both politically and economically, and for the citizens themselves. These were just some of the highlights which were raised during the discussion, in which the students took active part with relevant comments and questions on topical themes.
