The Schengen Agreement

The Schengen Agreement is a treaty that allows people to travel freely across many European countries without needing to show passports or go through border controls at internal borders. It creates a shared zone where the participating countries coordinate border security and police efforts, making travel easier and faster within this area. However, this also means that each country still independently manages its own external borders and safety measures. Overall, the agreement promotes easier movement, economic cooperation, and closer integration among member nations.
