OTP to SOF - Passport Stamps?

Okay, this is a dumb question, but I want to clarify - if I’m flying OTP (Bucharest) to SOF (Sofia) directly, I won’t have to stamp out and back in to the EU, correct?

Both countries are member states of the EU, so no stamp!

Is this an EU or Schengen issue?

As this just appears to be a flight between the two then no stamp as both countries are in Schengen (they joined earlier this year) as far as air travel is concerned and it would be regarded as a domestic flight,

it’s not an EU issue but a Schengen one.

Thanks, everyone - that’s how I interpreted the rules, as well.
