Serbia's government is to abolish visa requirements for Russian citizens, the Cabinet of Ministers said on Thursday.
Serbian officials did not specify when the new rules for Russian citizens entering the Balkan country would come into effect, Ria Novosti reported.
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica suggested discussing the lifting of visa requirements for Russians to Serbia a week after Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on February 17.
Russia is the strongest supporter of Belgrade's opposition to recognition for Kosovo, claiming it was undermining international law.
