- By Reuters
Airline passengers in Romania and Bulgaria welcomed their countries' partial accession to the Schengen Area on March 31. Both nations are now part of the visa-free travel zone when traveling by air or sea, but document checks remain on their land borders. "This is a historic moment," one traveler told reporters at Bucharest airport, and the same positive mood prevailed at the airport in Sofia.
