Netherlands and Austria Clear Path for Bulgaria's Schengen Accession

TL;DR Summary
The Netherlands has lifted its objection to Bulgaria joining the EU's Schengen Zone, citing that Bulgaria now meets the necessary conditions. Previously, the Netherlands had opposed Bulgaria's entry due to concerns over corruption and migration. However, Austria still opposes Bulgaria's accession, although it is willing to compromise by allowing plane travel in exchange for tighter security at the EU's external border.
