Balkan countries sign visa deal with EU

http://euobserver.com/15/24788/?rk=1
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – Five Balkan countries on Tuesday signed (18 September) visa agreements with the EU making it easier for their citizens to enter the bloc in what is hoped to be the first step towards a completely "visa free" regime.

Citizens from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) will have to pay a visa fee of €35 – instead of €60, to enter the EU once these agreements are implemented – something which is planned to happen by 1 January 2008.

Quote from the article:
On top of that, for some categories of people such as students, businessmen or journalists, the necessary documents required for getting a visa will be simplified.
Notice how they haven't simplified visa procedures for tourists or visitors! Nothing but lip-service if you ask me.
In a few years time we'll look back on immigration control like we look back on American prohibition in the thirties - futile and counter-productive.
