EU migration chief Brunner visits Bulgaria, marks six months in Schengen zone

European Union official Magnus Brunner plans to travel to Bulgaria for important discussions about border policies. Bulgarian National Radio confirmed the upcoming visit from the commissioner who oversees home affairs and migration issues. Brunner will conduct meetings with top Bulgarian leaders during his stay. Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov and Interior Minister Daniel Mitov will host separate conversations with the EU official. The talks will focus on several key areas affecting both countries.

Migration policies will dominate the agenda as officials discuss the Pact on Migration and Asylum. Bulgaria's efforts to join the Schengen zone will receive significant attention during these meetings. Border management strategies will also feature prominently among the topics under review. The commissioner wants to assess Bulgaria's progress on these critical European Union priorities. These discussions could shape future cooperation between Brussels and Sofia.

Brunner will travel to the Kulata-Promahon checkpoint after completing his meetings in the capital. Greece's Deputy Minister for Migration and Asylum Sevi Voloudaki will join the border visit. The three officials will cross the Schengen border together during this ceremonial moment. Their joint crossing will celebrate six months of operation without traditional border controls. This milestone represents a major achievement for Bulgaria's European integration efforts.
