Less time on the sidewalk

Starting January, it will become a little bit easier for people who are not in power or under indictment to travel to EU countries from Albania, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. Every little bit.

Oh, my. A similar thing happened in the US last summer, when passport requirements were introduced (by the US) for Mexico, Canada, and other countries to which US citizens could previously travel without a passport. The passport agency immediately received 5 million applications for new passports, and since they were completely unprepared for this, turned over the processing work in some places to temp agencies. The stated purpose of the measure was to increase security, but nobody was able to explain how security was enhanced by increasing the likelihood that passport applications would be approved without being reviewed.
