ROME (ANA-MPA/ Th. Andreadis) --- Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said that he agreed with Greek Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni's proposal for the facilitation of tourists via visas that allow visits to several EU member-states,  at a Forum for Tourism taking place in Rome on Friday.
Kefalogianni, who represented Greece at the Forum, proposed the introduction of a visa that would allow tourists wishing to visit more than one EU country - going, for example, to Greece, Italy, and then France - to travel using a single visa. Greece's tourism minister specially mentioned the growing tourist interest from the middle class in India, as well as from Chinese tourists. "Of course, all of this must fully respect the security and control requirements established by the Schengen Agreement and the entire body of European regulations," the Greek minister explained.
Antonio Tajani added that, in coordination with his European counterparts, he will promote the proposal and will refer to it in detail at the upcoming Friends of the Western Balkans meeting, which will take place in New York.
