Holders of passports issued by Serbian Coordination Directorate will soon be able to travel to EU based on visa-free regime
Visa requirements for entering EU countries have been removed for Serbian nationals who hold passports issued by Serbia’s Coordination Directorate. As a combined action of European Parliament (EP) and the Council of the European Union, the decision was signed by EP President Roberta Metsola and Hungary’s Minister for European Affairs, János Bóka on September 18, 2024 in Strasbourg.
The Decision is expected to be published in EP Official Gazette on September 23, 2024 and will come into effect 20 days after its publication, likely around October 10, 2024.
Since January 1, 2024, when Kosovo passport holders have entered EU visa-free regime, holders of Serbian passports issued by Coordination Directorate remained the only nationals from West Balkan who needed visa to travel to EU countries.
