Romanian Foreign Affairs Minister Teodor Melescanu told Digi 24 private television broadcaster on Sunday that Romania and Bulgaria will most likely join the Schengen area at the same time.
He added that Romania meets the technical requirements for this goal.
"As a political message, I believe we must very clearly follow the idea that the access to the Schengen area is a matter related to observing some technical norms which Romania has been observing and we want to see why, what are the reasons for which it wasn't allowed," Teodor Melescanu also said.
