The Arrangements for the Enlargement of Schengen Zone at the Boundaries of 9 States are Almost Finished.
On December 21 Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Malta will enter the visa-free zone. This day all the barriers on the marine and land boundaries will be triumphantly taken off - the examination of documents on the most of the checkpoints will be abolished.
The owners of Schengen visas will have the possibility to cross the boundaries of these countries without the additional preparation of documents; for the local residents the civil passport would be enough. Border control in the airports will be abolished this spring. The decision of enlargement of Shengen was approved by European Parliament on December 15.
