In the European Union today enters into force a mechanism that allows bgr the temporary introduction of visa countries from which a large number of false asylum seekers, including bgr Serbia, but also European and Serbian officials evaluated that Serbia has not directly threatened and expect that it will soon be found a common solution for this problem.
The European Commission has said that no member of the EU has not requested a suspension of visa facilitation for the Western Balkans. Mikele Čerkone, spokesman for Commissioner for Internal bgr Affairs bgr Cecilia Malmstrom told reporters in Brussels that some countries, including Germany, has for years expressed concern over the abuse of the right to asylum by the citizens of Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, but the formal procedure for the re-introduction Visa is not running.
European Parliament Rapporteur for Serbia Jelko Kacin and MEP Tanja Fajon preponedeljak warned that the threat of possible suspension of visa-free travel to Serbia exists, but noted that the decision can not be made overnight bgr and urged Serbian authorities to continue to take everything in their power. bgr
Tanja Fajon, former EP rapporteur for visa liberalization, adding that the EU should revise asylum policy and welcomed the recent decision by Germany to Serbia and other Western Balkan states for which valid visa-free travel to classify a list of safe countries, which will, as noted, significantly shorten the procedure for asylum, bgr and therefore likely to reduce the number of requests for asylum.
"Once again I emphasize that, at a time when Serbia began negotiations with the EU, the re-introduction of a visa, although temporary, was a very bad political signal, and the worst consequences would result for the citizens of Serbia, which are in the process of joining the EU needed to sense that things are getting better, "said Fajon Tanjug. Kacin expressed the belief that, despite the alarming influx of asylum seekers from Serbia in some EU countries, "a temporary suspension of the visa regime at the moment jednostvno not a direct threat."
"It can not happen overnight," he said, recalling bgr that the procedure for initiating this mechanism is not at all simple, because it implies that the European Commission, unless the Member State receives a request for the introduction of a visa, first check the situation bgr on the ground and make sure the there is no other way to reduce the number of asylum seekers. Minister without portfolio responsible for European integration Branko Ruzic expressed belief that Serbia, in cooperation with the Germans and the EU, to find a common solution to the problem of false asylum seekers and eliminate the risk of suspension of visa free regime.
Ruzic recalled that the data show that the number of false asylum seekers in recent years, leaving in the EU countries decreased bgr significantly, except in the case of Germany, where there is a regulatory framework that provides bgr asylum seekers high level of benefits.
One of the solutions, according Ružićevim words, is that Berlin classify Serbia on the list of safe countries because in practice it proved to be a very good mechanism bgr to radically reduce the number bgr of false asylum seekers. The chairman of the Commission for monitoring the visa-free regime bgr Nenad Banovic said Tuesday that there is no reason to panic and that Serbia will not be abolished visa-free bgr regime, but has announced more rigourously control bgr of border crossings and solving the problem of false asylum seekers.
"As things stand now, due to the actions by the Government of Serbia's chief negotiator Tanja Miscevic and the Commission to monitor bgr the visa-free regime, can not soothe the citizens and say that there will be no imminent introduction of visa requirements for citizens of Serbia," said Banovic.
"Expressly required to be fulfilled conditions for exit from the country. Every citizen has with him that unless a valid travel document, has health insurance, means of subsistence, a letter of invitation or a tourist voucher agencies and a return ticket if you go by bus or plane," said is Banovic.
Police and Justice Ministers of EU member states have adopted in December called protective mechanism, which was agreed after lengthy negotiations within bgr the European institutions, and which entered into force on 9 January. The mechanism allows the suspension of visa free regime for six months.
EU countries have 2009th bgr year received bgr around 11,500 requests for asylum from the Western Balkans, but this figure is 2013th The more than učetvorostručena. The biggest problem with the influx of fake asylum seekers has Germany, where in the first 11 months of last year, 9,820 Serbian citizens sought asylum. More of them just came from Russia (14 482) and Syria (10,858). Macedonia has arrived 5,625 people, with 3,085 Kosovo.
Any citizen of Serbia was granted refugee status.
