Joint Declaration concerning reintegration

The Contracting Parties acknowledge the necessity of an efficient, effective and sustainable socio-economic reintegration of repatriated citizens of the Republic of Serbia. They confirm their intention to increase their efforts, also financially, to support such reintegration, taking into account Community financial assistance available to that end.

Joint Declaration concerning Articles 2(3) and 4(3)

The Contracting Parties take note that, according to the nationality laws of the Republic of Serbia and the Member States, it is not possible for a citizen of the Republic of Serbia or the European Union to be deprived of his or her nationality.

The Parties agree to consult each other in due time, should this legal situation change.

Joint Declaration concerning Articles 3 and 5

The parties will endeavour to return any third country national who does not, or who no longer, fulfils the legal conditions in force for entry to, presence in or residence on, their respective territories, to his or her country of origin.

Declaration by the Republic of Serbia concerning citizenship

The Republic of Serbia states that, in accordance with the Law on Citizenship of the Republic of Serbia ( Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia , no 135/04), the citizenship of the Republic of Serbia held by a citizen of the Republic of Serbia may not be terminated by renunciation, if such a person fails to provide the evidence proving that he/she will be admitted to a foreign citizenship at the moment of submitting the request for renunciation of Republic of Serbia citizenship.

Joint Declaration concerning Denmark

The Contracting Parties take note that this Agreement does not apply to the territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, nor to nationals of the Kingdom of Denmark. In such circumstances it is appropriate that the Republic of Serbia and Denmark conclude a readmission agreement in the same terms as this Agreement.

Joint Declaration concerning Iceland and Norway

The Contracting Parties take note of the close relationship between the European Community and Iceland and Norway, particularly by virtue of the Agreement of 18 May 1999 concerning the association of these countries with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis. In such circumstances it is appropriate that the Republic of Serbia concludes a readmission agreement with Iceland and Norway in the same terms as this Agreement.

Joint Declaration concerning Switzerland

The Contracting Parties take note that the European Union, the European Community and Switzerland signed an agreement on Switzerland's association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis. It is appropriate, once this association agreement enters into force, that the Republic of Serbia concludes a readmission agreement with Switzerland in the same terms as this Agreement.
