Luxembourg will do its best, so that in the coming years Bulgaria can become a member of the Schengen Area, this country’s Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and Immigration Jean Asselborn said after the meeting with Bulgaria’s Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva. If the EU does not make this step, this would mean discrimination against Bulgaria, Minister Asselborn said. Minister Zaharieva commented that although the volume of bilateral trade is not that big, Luxembourg is one of the biggest investors in Bulgaria. According to unofficial data, nearly 5,000 Bulgarians live in Luxembourg. They are well integrated and are employed at senior positions, which favors the development of bilateral relations between the two countries, Minister Zaharieva pointed out.
