Belgian prime minister Alexander de Croo said on Wednesday, when asked about the prospect of our country not joining the Schengen Area by the end of the year, when Belgium takes over the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union, that in order to reach an agreement, all parties involved must be convinced.Alexander de Croo congratulated Romania on its progress on the Schengen accession dossier."It is always easier to point out the shortcomings than the enormous effort made so far and I think we should praise the latter more often. In order to reach an agreement, all parties involved have to be convinced (...)
