EU member states agreed on Wednesday (June 16) to lift its travel restrictions for travelers from eight countries and territories including Albania, Serbia and Macedonia North, reports Radio Free Europe (RFE).
Albania, Lebanon, Northern Macedonia, Serbia and Taiwan will be added to the list of safe places to travel, while the Chinese administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau will be included only in case of reciprocity, reports Euronews Albania.
Regardless of the decision, any Member State may require a negative test for Covid-19 or a quarantine period.
The issue of health is in the national competence of each EU member state, therefore, even if some countries declare themselves safe, each EU country has the right to impose measures to fight the coronavirus, writes REL.
