The Azerbaijani parliament has approved a bill establishing a visa-free regime between Azerbaijan and Serbia.

Azerbaijani citizens can now travel to Serbia without a visa.

During the February 1 plenary session, the parliament debated a draft law on the approval of “the agreement between the governments of Azerbaijan and Serbia on the mutual abolition of visas for holders of ordinary passports” .

At the end of the discussions, the bill was put to the vote and adopted.

As a reminder, the agreement between Azerbaijan and Serbia on the mutual abolition of visa requirements for holders of general civilian passports was signed during a meeting between the foreign ministers of the two countries, Jeyhun Bayramov and Nikola Selakovic, on the sidelines of the high-level meeting commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Non-Aligned Movement in Belgrade on October 11, 2021.

It should be noted that the visa regime between Azerbaijan and Qatar has also been canceled before. Azerbaijani citizens can visit 72 countries under visa-free or visa-on-arrival regimes. According to the Passport Ranking Index Guide, the Azerbaijani passport is currently ranked 75th.

Azerbaijan and Serbia cooperate in various economic sectors. The Azerbaijan-Serbia Declaration on Strategic Partnership, signed in 2013, and the Joint Action Plan on Strategic Partnership, signed in 2018, laid the foundation for the development of relations.

In 2021, the trade turnover between Azerbaijan and Serbia was $9.2 million.
