Croatia to join Schengen Area as of January 1st 2023

Austria has blocked the accession of Romania and Bulgaria into Schengen, the passport-free area that has abolished border checks between the vast majority of EU member states.

The Netherlands supported Romania's bid but opposed Bulgaria's.

Croatia, however, received unanimous backing and will join the Schengen Area as of January 2023.

"Last step completed!," tweeted the Croatian Permanent Representation in Brussels.

The votes took place in Brussels on Thursday morning during a high-stakes meeting of interior ministers.

The negative conclusion, which was widely expected, represents a painful political defeat for both Romania and Bulgaria, who joined the European Union six years before Croatia.

The European Commission, in charge of assessing Schengen candidacies, has said the two countries are ready to become part of the passport-free area since at least 2011.

The executive released another unconditional endorsement just last month, while the European Parliament passed a new resolution denouncing the exclusion as "discriminatory."
