Drawn in by a new open-sky agreement and an EU decision to allow Serbian citizens to travel visa-free from Dec.19, airline companies from Romania, Slovenia and Croatia are set to begin flying from Belgrade in the next six months.
Romania's Tarom (www.tarom.com) will start flying between Belgrade and Bucharest on Dec.7, Belgrade-based Blic newspaper reports.
Croatia Airlines and Slovenia's Adria Airways (www.adria.si) are due to begin Belgrade flights next year.
Ljubljana-Belgrade flights are planned from March 1, while Zagreb-based flights are expected to begin May 1.
"Romanian Tarom will fly from Belgrade three times a week, while Croatia Airlines (www.croatiaairlines.hr) is expected to fly four times a week," Civil Aviation Directorate spokeswoman Katarina Andric Milosavljevic said.
The Serbian parliament recently ratified the Open Sky agreement to join Europe's liberalised aviation market. The country's aviation agency (www.cad.gov.rs) pledged to license any airline meeting European safety standards.
Serbia has also invited low-cost companies to begin offering flights in anticipation of the European Union's decision to waive visa requirements for Serbian citizens from mid-December.
