“The Commission considers that Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia have taken action to address several recommendations made in the sixth report under the Visa Suspension Mechanism. However, they still need to take further action, specifically to align their visa policies with the visa policy of the EU,” the 7th report under the Visa Suspension Mechanism said.

The Mechanism monitors the EU’s visa-free regimes with its Western Balkan and Eastern Partnership partners, the Eastern Caribbean countries operating investor citizenship schemes, and Latin American countries.

The report said that the follow-up to the visa liberalisation process continues to be a powerful tool to support reforms and boost cooperation with the EU on migration, border management and security.

It said that Ukraine and Kosovo met the visa liberalization requirements.
