🎧 Episode 55: Schengen

What does the Schengen Area represent for Europe, and why are Bulgaria and Romania still waiting for full access despite fulfilling all the requirements? 🎙️ In the latest episode of Central Europe Explained, we explore these pressing questions with the Romanian and Bulgarian ambassadors.

🔑 One of our guests shares a personal story from his student days, when his Eastern European passport led to countless struggles at the border. His experience sheds light on the broader challenges facing millions and the significance of Schengen membership today.

🚪 We also discuss “Air Schengen,” migration challenges, and the ongoing political obstacles delaying full membership for Romania and Bulgaria.

Join us as we discuss what Schengen means for Europe’s future and why it’s about more than just crossing borders.
