Commenting on the Netherlands’ position against Bulgaria joining the Schengen area, caretaker Justice Minister Krum Zarkov told bTV on Saturday that the Netherlands does not have the right to not want Bulgaria in Schengen. “We respect the Netherlands and its position, but it should be expressed in a way that does not bring in question the dignity and life of Bulgarian police officers,” he added.

In a position on the Netherlands being against Bulgaria’s entry in Schengen, caretaker Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev said that the Republic of Bulgaria is a full member of the European Union that is making exceptional efforts to guarantee its partners’ security.

Yanev was approached by the press to comment on the matter following several incidents and police chases of vehicles with undocumented migrants in Bulgaria.
