Key Points
- The European Council will allow Serbian nationals with passports issued by the Serbian Coordination Directorate in Belgrade to enter the Schengen area visa-free
Overview
The European Council will allow Serbian nationals with passports issued by the Serbian Coordination Directorate in Belgrade to enter the Schengen area visa-free. The Council shared that these measures will go into effect 20 days after the new rules are published in the Official Journal of the EU.
Previously, individuals who held a Serbian passport issued by the Coordination Directorate in Belgrade were not permitted visa-free entry.
According to the Council, these measures aim to ensure that the Western Balkan region is subject to the same visa regime.
