EU Council abolishes visas for holders of Serbian passports issued in Kosovo
The Council of the European Union (EU) adopted Monday a regulation ensuring that the whole Western Balkan region is subject to the same visa regime, by removing the exclusion previously applied to holders of Serbian passports in Kosovo issued by the Serbian Coordination Directorate.
The adoption of this regulation by the Council concludes the legislative process and the regulation will enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the EU, the Council said in a press release.
Since December 2009, holders of Serbian biometric passports were exempted from the visa requirement when traveling to the Schengen area. One category of holders of Serbian passports was excluded from the visa requirement exemption at the time, namely the holders of passports issued by the Serbian Coordination Directorate in Belgrade.
Last year the European Commission published a proposal to remove this exclusion by amending Regulation (EU) 2018/1806, thus enabling all citizens of the Western Balkan region to benefit from visa-free travel to the Schengen area.
