We've made 'huge progress' on Schengen membership: Bulgarian PM Denkov

TALKING EUROPE © FRANCE 24

Talking Europe sat down with the prime minister of Bulgaria, Nikolai Denkov, during a crucial EU summit that approved the start of EU accession talks for Ukraine and Moldova – but failed to find an agreement on budget support for Ukraine. We take the political temperature in the summit room with our guest, and discuss some regional and Bulgarian developments as well – notably Sofia's efforts to join the Schengen free travel area, which is currently under negotiation between Bulgaria, Romania, Austria and the European Commission. 

Produced by Sophie Samaille, Juliette Laurain, Isabelle Romero and Perrine Desplats
