Prime Minister of Albania Edi Rama and president of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic signed an deal under which citizens of both countries can enter the other country with only their IDs, instead of with passports as was the case until now. After the ceremony, Albania’s Rama hailed the agreement as “a positive step”.
“It is a good step that now Albania has freedom of movement with basically all countries, including Serbia, with which we signed freedom of movement [deals] between our citizens – with no other document [necessary other] than ID cards. I think this is a very positive step,” Rama told the online held press conference.
The Serbian President said he expected more citizens of both countries to cross over and visit Albania and Serbia.
“I am sure now that we have formally solved all obstacles that Serbian citizens can go not only to the territory of Northern Macedonia but also to the territory of Albania only with an ID card, and that there will be many more Albanians in Nis and Belgrade … who want to see Serbia, but also many more Serbs who want to see Durres, Tirana and every other place in Albania,” Vucic said./abcnews.al
