Balkans: three countries push for "mini-Schengen"
Serbia, Albania and North Macedonia working on border-free zone
28 July, 14:45According to the FT, the leaders of the three countries will accelerate on the creation of a "border-free travel and business zone as they wait for the bloc to admit them," a project that could officially be unveiled tomorrow.
"It will include a gradual easing of travel restrictions, faster "green lanes" at borders, reduced waiting times for freight, as well as easier access to work permits," the FT wrote. The "mini-Schengen" in the Balkans should be realized by the end of the year, Vucic said. The zone should eventually include also Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo.
