The European Union plans to enhance its visa suspension mechanism, enabling easier revocation of visa-free travel for citizens of 61 nations, including Western Balkans, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine.

With the legislative process underway following a backlog in the European Parliament, a concurrent trialogue involving the European Parliament, Council of the EU, and European Commission has begun, with hopes of implementing the regulation by early autumn 2024.
