Bulgaria For Visa-Free Travel for Serbs

Sofia
Nis _ Bulgaria’s ambassador to Serbia has said his country is in favour of a visa-free regime for their Serbian neighbours.

Local media quoted Georgi Dimitrov as saying in the Serbian southern city of Nis, that Bulgaria supported “the wish of Serb people to have the visa regime liberalised” and that “the idea is to eventually abolish them”.

Bulgaria had to introduce visas for Serbs after it joined the European Union in 2007, but Dimitrov said that his country was issuing them both in the Belgrade embassy and in the Nis consulate, with least possible restrictions.

"Visa regime liberalisation depends on the Serb side as well, on the speed of issuing biometric passports and other adjustments which seek time,” the ambassador said.

Earlier this week, Serbia’s Deputy Prime Minister Bozidar Djelic said he expected a visa-free regime with the EU Schengen states would be granted to Serbia by mid-2009. Read more:

Dimitrov added that Bulgaria was also in favour of a rapid European integration for Serbia, adding that his country, as Serbia's neigbour, would also benefit from that.
