There aren’t any borders in the Schengen area which is different to the EU.
Here's a simple chart showing the difference:
Damn, this is really recently updated. Romania and Bulgaria just got into Schengen last month, and they're already in the right spot on the chart.
It's from Wikipédia, it gets updated faster than the EU's website somehow.
Least complex glimpse of European institutions.
I really like this chart. It seems complex, but the upside is that your country can find exactly the level of engagement it wants.
Wow that’s insanely complicated. Also not very color blind friendly. They should put like a two letter country abbreviation below each flag.
What's that flag above Ireland that looks like an ice cream sandwich?
Cyprus!?
Croatia is in the Schengen area on the graph.
This is your brain on state sovereignty, folks.
Sure there are. There are border controls between Germany and Denmark and between Denmark and Sweden. They were supposed to be temporary, but here we are nine years later and they're still up.
Same between Austria and Slovenia and Slovenia and Croatia. Well, at least on one side. Going from Austria to Croatia, nobody will stop you, but going from Croatia to Austria, they stop you on each border. Austria took COVID as an excuse to reinstate it, and Slovenia I guess chose to be very worried about illegal immigrants.
