The Hungarian Prime Minister even left in angerEuropean UnionAt the meeting, refuse to participate in the voting. In addition, on the issue of Bulgaria's application to the Schengen area, Hungary once again expressed its opposition to Bulgaria by saying that it has the "right of veto."
However, Bulgaria is now looking forward to joining the Schengen Area. Joining the Schengen Area will make Bulgaria's border controls more relaxed and more attractiveInternationalTourists flock to it. At the same time, Bulgarian citizens will also travel more freely to othersSchengen countrieshome tourism to improve the quality of life of the people. In addition, joining the Schengen Area will also attract more foreign investment, expand market openness, and increase itEconomyCompetitiveness. For Bulgaria, this is a work of great significance.
However, the Hungarian Governor put forward Hungary's conditions, saying that Bulgaria would not be able to join the Schengen area if it did not meet the conditions. This condition refers to the exemption of Bulgaria from the "transit tax" on imports of Russian gas from Hungary. Hungary argues that Bulgaria's tax policy has forced Hungary to stop importing Russian gas, and Hungary strongly opposes this policy. The Hungarian governor said that Hungary's position on this issue is correct, and Russian gas is inEnergy securityaspect is very important, especially for:European UnionThe country's demand for natural gas.

However, Hungary's dependence on Russian gas as well asEuropean Union's dissatisfaction led to the imposition of conditions on Bulgaria's accession.
