Romania, Bulgaria Join Schengen Zone; Dog Crosses Romania-Hungary Border First

I was catching up with my favorite TikTok-er this morning — WeRateDogs. A+++ content. As Matt Nelson gave a rundown of the dogs who were good this week, his “honorable mention” caught my eye.

Bulgaria and Romania became full members of Europe’s Schengen Zone just days ago, with the start of 2025. There is now visa-free travel between these nations and the other Schengen Zone members.

The first to cross the Romania-Hungary border freely was a stray dog. He absolutely deserved the applause received.

Romania has joined the European Union’s Schengen area, and a dog was the first to cross the Romania-Hungary border freely.
