EU

Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina Get Free Visa Privileges

2010-11-13 by Phil Butler

Mostar, Bosnia & Hercegovina

The EU has now granted fee visa privileges to Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina in an effort to spur democratic reforms and progress. These two Balkan republics’ citizens can now travel freely within the Schengen area, basically all of the EU. Officials warn of a withdrawal of privileges should serious problems with immigration ensue.

EU and Russia: Free Visa Talks at Standstill

2010-11-12 by Phil Butler

Dmitry Medvedev and Tarja Halonen

Travel and tourism for Russia is up this year despite slow progress on the free visa issue. The EU’s apparent stalling of Russia on free travel is holding up what could be a boom for the industry worldwide. Business between the EU and the Russian Federation could take many countries out of the recession with expanded cooperation, so just why the EU is holding back makes little sense to many.
