Lithuania proposes creation of ‘military Schengen’

‘Lithuania has proposed the creation of a “military Schengen” zone within the European Union (EU), where defense cooperation among member states would be increased.
Lithuania’s Defense Minister Raimondas Karoblis made the proposal at a meeting of EU defense ministers in the Estonian capital of Tallinn on Friday, calling on the member states to join a “military Schengen project that would facilitate the movement of troops in Europe.”
Lithuania is already a member of the NATO, a military alliance of mainly European countries, and its “military Schengen” proposal would, if materialized, only create an alliance within an alliance.
Karoblis said the project was meant at “simplifying procedures and investing in infrastructure.”
He claimed the proposal was supported by many of the EU’s member states and its implementation was “important both in the EU and for NATO.”’
