Government adopts bill on travel documents

BELGRADE - The Serbian government adopted at Monday's session a bill amending the law on travel documents to make it compliant with European Union regulations.

The bill scraps the so-called exit visas, the government press office said.

Also scrapped are seaman's books and maritime passports, whose holders will be now able to travel with standard passports, the statement said.

Also aligned with European Union regulations is a section of the bill under which children under the age of 12 need not have their fingerprints and signatures taken when filing requests for passports.
