“As the Minister of the Interior, who is responsible for security, I say a clear no,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
He added that the migration system of the European Union is not working, and therefore border control is not carried out to the required extent, and the EU member countries are forced to protect their borders themselves.
Earlier, the European Commission announced the readiness of Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia to join the Schengen area.
On June 16, the Eurogroup approved Croatia's accession to the euro area.
Later, the Council of Ministers of Economy and Finance of the EU countries agreed on the transition of Croatia to the euro from January 1, 2023.
