Serbia and Macedonia Poised to Sign 'Balkan Schengen'

Dacic reportedly said he would sign the agreement with his Macedonian counterpart, Gordana Jankuloska, at a summit scheduled to be held in the lake town of Ohrid, Macedonia, in October.

"Since the citizens of Finland, Estonia and Latvia can come with only ID cards, and as Macedonian citizens are much closer to us, it is normal they should be able to travel without a passport," said Dacic speaking at the recent Serbia-EU forum.

He dubbed the idea "mini Schengen", adding that a similar idea had been proposed for Croatia, whose authorities said they would consider the idea and determine how it could reflect on its EU prospects.
