Romania will soon join the Schengen Area and will be free of the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM), on Thursday said President Klaus Iohannis, in central Sibiu, in the Big Square ahead of the EU informal Summit.
Klaus Iohannis stressed that Romanians want to be Europeans, adding "I promise you we will remain [Europeans, ed. n.] and I can also promise you that shortly, probably not today, but soon, we will be in the Schengen Are and will be free of the CVM."
