The EU will adopt a decision on Monday to recognize digital COVID-19 certificates issued in Serbia, said a commissioner.

"Good news" regarding the same issue is expected for Moldova, Georgia and Serbia, EU Enlargement Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi told reporters before the meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

- This means that travel will be much easier for the citizens of these countries, but it also means that citizens of European countries will be able to travel - he ​explained.

After Albania and North Macedonia, Serbia will be the third country in the Western Balkans whose COVID-19 certificate will be recognized in the EU.

With these certificates, passengers prove that they have been fully vaccinated, hold a negative PCR test, or have had the coronavirus in the past 180 days so have enough antibodies.

So far, only 18 countries outside the EU have standardized COVID-19 certificates.

The EU foreign ministers have met in Brussels on Monday, with the Western Balkans, primarily the situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina and the relations between Serbia and Kosovo, on the agenda.
