EP official Tanja Fajon says that governments of southeast European countries should have done much more to prevent visa liberalization abuse. She points out that there is little time left to improve the current situation. "Governments should prevent visa liberalization abuse" “It is realistic to expect that the EU Council of Ministers will determine a mechanism for interim suspension of the visa liberalization in June, but it depends on the behavior of Serbia and other regional states whether this suspension will be activated,” she told Novi Sad-based daily Dnevnik. Regarding the announcement that visas will be reintroduced for the citizens of the so-called third world countries, including Serbia, she said that there was still time, but not much, to improve the situation in this respect. Fajon added that due to the problem with bogus asylum seekers, there was a growing number of the EU countries which were ready to take harsher measures since they believed that crime rings, which organize transfer of false asylum seekers, had appeared after Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia, and later Bosnia-Herzegovina and Albania, joined so-called White Schengen List.
