Current Full List Of Countries In EU Schengen Area As Stray Dog First To Cross Romania-Hungary Border After Admission.

A stray dog was the first to cross the border between Romania and Hungary after Romania, already a member of the European Union (EU), recently became part of the Schengen Area.

The dog made history when it strolled through the entrance as the checkpoint barrier was lifted, and was greeted with a round of applause from officers who stood on both sides of the road. Watch the video below:

Romania and Bulgaria became full member nations of the Schengen Area on January 1 with the lifting of the checks on persons at the internal land borders between the countries and other Schengen nations. The internal air and sea border controls were lifted on 31 March 2024.

Their Schengen admission was delayed by Austria who cited uncontrolled immigration.

Permanent residents and citizens of countries in the Schengen Area can travel visa-free to other member nations – thus enhancing tourism and business.
