Yugoslavia Suspends Visa Rules

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) - Yugoslavia suspended visa requirements
Thursday for visitors from the United States, the European Union (news -
web sites) and several other countries during the summer season.

Starting Thursday and until Sept. 30, visitors will be given a ``special
tourist pass'' at border crossings when entering the country, which is
valid for 30 days, a government statement said.

Besides the United States and EU nations, the new policy applies to
visitor from Switzerland, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic,
Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

The decision is apparently meant to attract vacationers, although the
country's chief tourist destination is a stretch of Adriatic coast in
the federation's smaller republic, Montenegro, which has long abandoned
visa requirements for most Western visitors. Montenegro pursues its own
policies, often opposed to those of Serbia, the larger republic, and the
federal government in Belgrade.

Strict visa requirements remain in place for Yugoslav nationals who want
to enter EU countries, the United States and many other countries.
