Neither is Croatia.
However, it is usually much easier / faster to enter Schengen from Croatia (which is part of European Union) or Ireland or UK then from, e.g., Ukraine.
Also, in airports there is usually "more-relaxed" EEU line to get into any European union country (+ some other like UK and Switzerland), no matter is it in Schengen or not.
Disclaimer: I'm living in Croatia.
I am from the EU too. I was just wondering what the advantages of the UK/Ireland are in getting from a non-Schengen island to the continent as opposed to some other non-Schengen countries with no land connection. There are separate airport gates for Schengen and non-Schengen destinations. Had no such doubts about Croatia but thanks for the comment!
The point is that those countries are not “high-risk”, and also have easy/cheap/fast access to Schengen, so they make a good “entry point”. Fly from your “high-risk” country to Croatia/UK/Ireland, then enter Schengen from there.
To everyone running it in Firefox:
"Unfortunately, Mozilla still hasn't fixed the performance bug 1190398 around ShadowBlur, filled for BLCK4777 5 years ago.
Therefore you need to use a Chromium or Webkit browser to enjoy MONOSPACE live."
Adaptive use would be awesome. Especially on conference calls at work there is always that one (or ten) person whose connection is absolutely awful and looks like a giant pixelhead.
That's actually legal in my homeland. There are specific conditions (e.g. personal use without economic goals) but it's generally OK. Note however that this applies to downloading from a server where the transfer goes one way. Torrenting would constitute copyright infringement as it is a two way transfer and counts as sharing copyrighted works.
