Schengen Expands Visa-Free Travel




The map above is from Wikipedia. The blue are countries in the EU, the green are countries that can go to the Schengen countries visa-free for 90 days every 180 days, the red are the countries that need a visa to enter the Schengen and I'm not sure what the countries in brown mean.

The countries that make up the Schengen Agreement will allow Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia 90 days visa-free travel starting on December 19, 2009. It is odd that from the 1950s-1990s Yugoslavia (present-day: Serbia, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Slovenia, Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina) could travel out of the Iron Curtain and to the West with no visas (and Westerns could travel to Yugoslavia without visas) something no other Communist country allowed.
