"Being in favour of the abolition of short-stay visas, I voted for Mrs Fajon’s report, as it is a step in the right direction. Thanks to this measure, the majority of the nationals of the countries concerned will no longer be subject to the administrative formalities required for embassies to issue visas.
Nevertheless, I regret that this exemption applies only to holders of biometric passports, since I believe that this is incompatible with the protection of personal data and privacy.
I am also shocked that only two of the three communities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Serbs and the Croats, will benefit from this measure, and that the residents of Kosovo will be excluded from it.
The status of European citizens must not be used to settle the issue of the status of the Member States and even less so to revive tensions within them that are already strong.
In the Balkans, all European Union nationals and citizens must be treated on an equal footing. The free movement of persons must be a fundamental right in Europe."@en1
