Belgrade is expecting to clinch a place later this year on the European Union's 'White Schengen List', that would allow Serbs visa-free travel to most European countries after more than 15 years.

Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said that Serbia is working intensively on issuing new, high-quality biometric passports, a key condition for the visa-free regime, Tanjug reported.

"The first of four EU committees will come in February to review our progress on the road map towards visa liberalisation," said Dacic, adding that Serbia "could have a positive response on the Schengen List " in the second half of the year.

He said he would hold talks later this month with the chief of police of the Czech Republic, that holds the rotating presidency of the EU, and advised citizens to put their passport applications in early so there are no bottlenecks in the summer holiday season.
