Now it is definite that Serbia shall not be put in the white Schengen list in this year as many politicians used to announce and some even promise. If Serbia Parliament adopts 15 laws until the end of the year at the latest, the citizens of our country shall be able to travel through Europe without visas not before the middle of the next year.
The majority of these laws have been already in parliamentary procedure.
Drazen Maravic, Chief of the bureau of Serbia Home Ministry for international cooperation and European integration says that Serbia Parliament has also to adopt until the end of the year a set of criminal and judicial laws but also to confirm conventions and international instruments defining international standards such as conventions on fight against crime, terrorism and money laundering. Serbia Government is also to adopt the strategy on migrations and reintegration based on the agreement on readmission, etc.
‘The plan is that necessary laws and strategies are adopted until the end of the year. At the beginning of 2009 together with EC experts and member countries we are to follow their implementation. Coming of Serbia in the white Schengen list depends on fulfillment of conditions in the so-called road map for visa regime liberalization’, Maravic says.
Fulfillment of the dynamics defined by the plan is in delay due to obstruction in the Parliament. It is obvious that the opposition parties (DSS, NS and SRS) still do not care much about traveling abroad without visas.
