Serbs, Montenegrins, and Macedonians can now travel to EU's Schenghn zone visa-free

The European Union has announced that, as of today, citizens of Serbia, Montenegro, and Macedonia will no longer need a visa to travel to the Schengen zone in the EU. This does not include the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Albania, Bosnia, and Kosovo are thusly the only countries in the Western Balkans who still need a visa.

The new Moldovan Government has announced that one of its goals is to make the travel of Moldovans to the European Union easier, perhaps even reach a point when Moldovan citizens do not need a visa. In addition, Romanian incumbent President Traian Basescu has often asked for Moldova to be included in the Western Balkans European integration package. That is, however, unlikely.

Whatever the case may be, it looks like the number of countries in Europe that need visas to travel to the European Union is slowly decreasing. Moldova continues to be one of them.
