EC to abolish visas for Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia
06.06.2009
The European Commission (EC) will propose the abolition of visas for Macedonian, Montenegrin and Serbian citizens by the end of the year, says the EC vice-president.
The EC will propose that the EU’s Schengen visa regime be lifted for citizens of Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro, said Jacques Barrot, the commissioner in charge of justice and internal affairs.
Barrot told journalists in Luxembourg that the EC and relevant ministries were still establishing what exactly the Western Balkan countries had achieved on the road map towards visa liberalization.
The EC vice-president said that he “has a feeling” that these countries had taken great strides towards meeting the set conditions. Barrot added that it was likely, though not certain, that a lifting of the visa regime would be proposed for all three countries at the end of the year.
