Ódou Na Radost / Ode to Joy

Od polnoci vstupom Slovenska do schengenského priestoru bez hraničných kontrol už cestu nebude sprevádzať ani kontrola dokladov.

With Schengen expansion, at midnight, the European Union becomes a 24-nation border-free zone.

Here are some fun facts:

-You can now drive from Tallinn to Lisbon without any border controls (4000 km).

-The border between the Czech Republic and Slovakia did not live to see it's 15th birthday.

-Germany and the Czech Republic are now entirely without borders.
