The European Parliament has voted to approve visa-free movement for Serbs in Kosovo who have Serbian passports issued by the Serbian Coordinating Directorate.

The new changes mean that holders of Serbian passports issued by the Serbian Coordinating Directorate have the right to travel visa-free to the countries of the EU Schengen area, following the visa liberalization agreement with Kosovo that entered into force on January 1 of this year. year, reports SchengenVisaInfo.

"On Wednesday, MEPs voted by 406 votes in favor, 97 against and 94 abstentions to support visa-free travel in the EU for up to 90 days for holders of Serbian passports issued by the Serbian Coordination Directorate ("Koordinaciona uprava"), which issues passports for Kosovo Serbs. This ensures that the entire Western Balkans region has the same visa regime for traveling to the EU," the EP announced. 

In this regard, the reporter Matjaz Nemec said that the extension of EU visa liberalization for Kosovo Serb residents is important to prevent discrimination against these citizens, who remain the only category in the Western Balkans that are still required to hold visas to travel to the Schengen Area. /CNA
