Romania will close over 30 border crossing points starting January 1
A decision posted on the Ministry of Internal Affairs website lists the state border crossing points of Romania that will be permanently closed:
It is worth mentioning that the Government in Sofia recently adopted a decision to introduce temporary controls at the border with Romania for a period of six months
The decision aims to ensure the implementation of the quadripartite declaration between Austria
as well as the decision of the JHA Council on setting a date for eliminating controls on persons at the internal land borders with and between Bulgaria and Romania
The Calafat border crossing point will remain open
The current buildings and infrastructure of the existing border crossing points will be preserved and maintained
The explanatory note of the document emphasizes that this is necessary in order to eventually reintroduce border controls if needed
the elimination of border controls "involves the need to enhance measures to ensure public order and safety
especially considering that Romania currently faces a variety of illegal migration methods
given its geographical position at the crossroads between the East – as a departure area for migrants
and the West – as a destination for illegal migration."
the Council of the European Union decided that Romania and Bulgaria will join Schengen with their land borders January 1
meaning that Romania and Bulgaria will become external borders for the Schengen area
