Tourist visa for all (up to period of 3 months) - students, or people
involved in cultural exchange could stay longer but with a guarantee
from a certain institution.
Family members could join their families in the EU countries also with

Adriatic route is more necessary because of the low development of the
region. Also by realizing the importance of the highway connecting capital
cities (Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Athens), the EU agreed to look for
