Romania will challenge Austria’s veto in the Court of Justice of the European Union on the country’s accession to the Schengen area and will ask the European institutions – the European Parliament, the European Council and the European Commission – to side with Romania in any legal dispute. This was stated for the second time this week by the Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu.
“All these European institutions have supported and agreed for Romania to join the Schengen area. See you then, Mr. Chancellor. I understand that you like boxing – let me see how you will react when all the European institutions join Romania in this attack in the Court of the EU,” said the Prime Minister in an interview with Digi24.
He reiterated that Austria had abused its right of veto and that Romania had been waiting ten years to enter Schengen.
Cholaku has also discussed the topic with Klaus Iohannis.

“Have you ever seen a movie with only good or bad cops? There’s always a good cop and a bad cop, there’s always black and white. I have a dialogue with the president of Romania, especially when it comes to foreign and defense policy – the president of Romania is the supreme commander of the army – it is imperative that this dialogue be institutional, regardless of whether we love each other or not,” said the Prime Minister.
