NEWS FLASH


Serbia’s Foreign Minister, Ivica Dačić, has said that flights between Belgrade and Baku, which had previously been announced by state officials on several occasions, would launch “imminently”, after Azerbaijan lifted visa requirements for Serbian citizens for stays up to ninety days and following talks with his Azeri counterpart. Serbia abolished visas for citizens of Azerbaijan several years ago. “I believe that the planned flights between Belgrade and Baku will further strengthen our relations, and of course, they will be a very important development now that visas have been abolished. It will boost people-to-people exchange and the development of tourism between our two countries”, the Foreign Minister noted.

      Quite possible, but I do not think it will be because of this statement.
      Except for flights to US I do not think that anyone from Government decided where JU should fly to in previous year.
      The most probably we shall see MAN, CLJ and GYD in new destination list.

      I didn't mean because of his statement. Marek mentioned Azerbaijan on several occasions as a good for transfer and his statement that will be adding longer sector routes and routes depending on transfers. Also, Serbia-Azerbaijan just signed a deal to import gas from Azerbaijan so I assume there will be more business travel in the future.

      GYD seems like a perfect Embraer route! There were also talks of Georgia last year, so we could see JU network expand into Caucasus next year!

    Crazy that Serbian citizens needed a VISA to enter Azerbaijan until now, while Azeri citizens could enter Serbia VISA-free. Who makes these decisions?

      Most countries need a visa to enter Azerbaijan. It's an evisa and it is just a way to get money. I travelled to Azerbaijan two years ago. The process of obtaining a visa, including filling up all the information online and actually being granted a visa, took 2 minutes.

      Having said that I really recommend people to visit Azerbaijan. It is a beautiful country, people are extremely friendly, Baku looks amazing. I thought it would be similar to Turkey but I was really mistaken. Also interesting to see such a secular (and nonreligious) Muslim country, I haven't seen that before.

      Visa liberation was agreed to and subsequently ratified in Serbia a year and a half ago, looks like Azeri bureaucracy is a bit on the slower side...

      Davne 204. i 2005. kada sam putovao u Azerbejdžan i Jermeniju nama nisu trebale vize. Svi moji saputnici iz razvijenih zemalja i zajednica je ostalo u redovima na granici. Kako se kasnije desilo da su nam uveli vize ne znam. Vviše puta sam ulazio u Azerbejdžan bez vize.

      Serbia abolished visas, unilaterally, for Azerbaijan citizens in 2018...Since then Azeri don't need visa to enter Serbia...About 2 years ago, bilateral agreement for abolishing visas was signed, only for internal Arezi purpose, for their president to show to Azeri population how other countries are abolishing visas for them. Since then, we still need visa to enter Azerbaijan...

    I hope all 3 Caucasian capitals are coming very soon. Serbian turist would go crazy about Tbilisi. Yerevan has a big transfer potential and would strengthen JU flights to France.

    Nowhere does it say that JU would launch these flights. It could be Azal.

    I dont share optimism about Baku flights.
    Outbound from Baku is extremely weak and Azerbaijan as a tourist destination can not compete with Georgia and especially not with Southern Europe or Turkey.
