Romania has resumed dialogue with all Schengen member states to learn about their position

Romania has resumed dialogue with all Schengen member states, to insure that their position related to our country joining the free movement area has not changed, said the minister of internal affairs at the Security Forum for the Black Sea and Balkans area. Romania also tried to clarify Austria’s concerns, after it opposed to Romania joining the group last year.
Lucian Bode: Romania considers that the main weapon of diplomacy must be used again: the dialogue. Therefore, we have resumed dialogue with Austria on every level and all unclear aspects, if any, regarding the fulfillment of all Schengen criteria, have been, I think, cleared. And not least, Romania has resumed dialogue with all member states that have given us their approval in December. We have concluded that, in the case of a decision this year, their position will remain unchanged.
