Austria's Interior Minister Gerhard Karner said Thursday his country will veto EU members Romania and Bulgaria joining the passport-free Schengen area, as he attended a meeting of EU colleagues in Brussels.

The meeting of EU interior ministers was expected to approve Croatia joining Schengen, which currently encompasses 22 of the EU's 27 member countries plus Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland.
