Proposal for a regulation

Recital 3
(3) For persons residing in Kosovo under UNSCR 1244/99 and persons whose citizenship certificate has been issued for the territory of Kosovo under UNSCR 1244/99, a specific Coordination Directorate in Belgrade will be in charge of collecting their passport applications and the issuance of passports. However, in view of security concerns regarding in particular the potential for illegal migration, the holders of Serbian passports issued by this specific Coordination Directorate (in Serbian : Koordinaciona uprava) should be excluded from the visa free regime for Serbia. In view of the fact that the border between Serbia and Kosovo is regarded by the Serbian authorities as an administrative boundary, which might negatively influence effective inter-state border controls, the Commission should request the Serbian government to implement at that border or boundary the same measures and controls it does at its other internationally recognised borders.
