Macedonia walks onward

A “Macedonia walk onward” is a video promoted by the Government of Republic of Macedonia, in anticipation of the visa liberalization that happened on December 19th 2009. Since then Macedonians can travel to the Schengen zone countries (EU, plus Switzerland, Iceland and Norway, minus UK and Republic of Ireland) with out visas.

This beautiful video was shot in Bitola, the second most important administrative centre in Macedonia, after the capital, Skopje. Enjoy this short video and come and visit. Macedonia welcomes you.

Macedonia gets visa liberalization!

Macedonia finally gets a visa liberalization! Macedonians can travel without visas in the EU countries and the countries of the Schengen Agreement, after 1st of January 2010.



Twenty-nine countries, including 25 European Union states and non-EU members Iceland, Norway, Lichtenstein and Switzerland are bound to the full set of rules in the Schengen Agreement. "The Commission's proposal needs to be approved by the [European] Council after having consulted the European Parliament," the statement added.

Macedonia has met all necessary conditions for visa liberalization, but for Serbia and Montenegro, the entry into force of the visa waiver will depend on fulfillment of all remaining open benchmarks of their respective roadmaps by the date of adoption of this proposal by the Council, the statement said.

This proposal for granting visas was made for Serbia and Montenegro, as well.
