Hojs reiterates discontent with Croatia as Schengen zone is discussed

By: J.S., STA

Interior Minister Aleš Hojs reiterated dissatisfaction with Croatia’s protection of the border as he took part in a debate on the future of the Schengen zone, hosted by the European Commission. Commenting on the debate, which looked at the problems of the passport-free zone in the face of migration, terrorism and the pandemic, Hojs said Schengen’s collapse did not start with the novel coronavirus but due to ineffective control over migration.

Slovenian MEP Tanja Fajon meanwhile said Schengen was seriously in peril, in particular because of lack of trust among member states, which was leading to ever more controls on internal borders. If Schengen is not solved quickly, there is a danger of the start of a collapse of EU integration, she said.
