During a telephone conversation on Friday, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that Bulgaria expects the results it has achieved in protecting the EU external borders to be acknowledged by all European partners and that the country will join the Schengen area as soon as possible.
