Serbia will introduce special border controls in order to prevent possible abuses of the no-visa regime it has with EU's Schengen area countries. This was announced on Tuesday by Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic, who pointed out that, "as things stand, the White Schengen is not endangered". "Special border controls" announced "Lately, there has been an increase in the number of Serbian citizens seeking asylum mainly for economic reasons, especially in Sweden, Belgium and Germany. The most frequent asylum seekers are Roma nationals and ethnic Albanians who will all be deported back to Serbia due to the readmission agreement, since asylum represents a political category," reported Belgrade daily Blic. Similar occurrences accompanied all the countries that either joined the EU or obtained visa liberalization. The no-visa regime would be endangered only if the current trend of applying for asylum continued, Dacic told Blic. According to him, the increase in the number of asylum seekers could make the EU decide to abolish the White Schengen, but at this moment there is no such danger. “We will not sit idly by, but rather start a serious campaign in order to explain what visa liberalization is, what are its possibilities and what abuse of no-visa regime means,” said Dacic.
