Slovenia and 16 other EU countries announced on Tuesday that they would make it easier for Serbian citizens to obtain visas. The initiative, timed to support pro-European parties in Serbia ahead of Sunday's general election, will enable about 80% of Serbs to get visas free of charge.
France made the announcement today in agreement with 16 other member states, including Slovenia.
This is the second initiative for a more relaxed visa regime with Serbia. In April, the European Commission and the Slovenian presidency urged member states to carry out the EU's visa liberalisation policy for the Western Balkans with due diligence and free of red tape.
