Serbian Minister of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications Tatjana Matic and Greek Minister of Tourism Haris Theocharis agreed during their online meeting today to sign a joint Memorandum of Understanding in the field of tourism, in conditions of the Covid pandemic, which will define the conditions for entry of passengers from Serbia to Greece and from Greece to Serbia, in the period from May 1 to October 1, 2021.

On that occasion Minister Matic announced that it has been agreed that the memorandum will allow for mutual recognition of electronic vaccination certificates.

"In that way, citizens of both countries who have been vaccinated will be able to enter, while a PCR or antigen test will be obligatory for those citizens who have not been vaccinated. Also, random quick tests will be done at the border," the minister explained.

She remarked that citizens who have not been able to make replacement trips to Greece so far, and who have signed contracts with travel agencies, will be able to do so until December 31, 2021.

"The opening of the Greek border for our citizens during the summer season will be a symbolic image of a complete normalization of our lives, but also another confirmation of the deep and true friendship and extraordinary bilateral relations between Serbia and Greece," Matic said.
