The end of the Iron Curtain

The last remnants of the Iron curtain are history. From now on Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia have joined the border less Schengen Space.

The preparation took two years, but now traveling overland from Tallinn to Lisbon without showing up a passport is a reality. 400 million Europeans can now travel by road, train or ship in the expanded zone.

In next march, the airports will also abolish passport controls.

My mistake! I typed Lithuania twice so when I counted, there were 9 members.

This has been fixed.
