Decisions on opening borders change daily

Belgrade, 12 July 2020

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic stated that decisions on opening or closing borders for our citizens change every day and that Serbian citizens, when it comes to neighbouring countries, can travel to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria and Hungary without any tests or quarantine.

In a statement to TV Prva, Dacic said that the EU had made certain decisions, but at the level of a recommendation, and that the recommendation was to put Serbia on the green list of countries.

However, he pointed out that every country makes decisions individually and those decisions change on a daily basis.

He specified that Croatia yesterday announced that it will be possible to enter that country with a negative test or 14 days of isolation, North Macedonia requires a negative test, while in the case of Slovenia we are on the red list and isolation of 14 days must be respected, but transit is allowed.

Serbian citizens cannot enter Romania and Greece, the Minister stated and noted that the same applies to Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium, while our citizens can go to Germany, with 14 days of isolation.

Serbian citizens can travel to Luxembourg, Great Britain and the USA, but they are barred from entering Russia, China, Israel, Morocco, Japan, Australia.

Dacic recalled that we had problems with Greece because there is a discrepancy between the ministries of foreign affairs and health, considering that the country first announced that our citizens could freely enter Greece, and then did not open the border crossing, whereas now they have decided that our citizens cannot enter that country.

He pointed out that Greek authorities said that there have been a lot of infected tourists from Serbia, adding that it is a big question whether this decision will change, but that it is in Greece's interest to open the border because of tourism.

Regarding Montenegro, Serbian citizens can still not enter that country, Dacic said.
