EU member states have agreed to a list of 15 countries that will be allowed to enter when external borders reopen, EDNews.net reports citing Euronews.
An EU diplomatic source confirmed to Euronews that the draft list of 15 countries we reported on Monday has enough votes to pass and that an official announcement is expected later on Tuesday.
There are two lists, one for those that will be allowed to enter, and one for those who will not.
The list has already aroused controversy after sources revealed that the United States - the worst-affected country worldwide by COVID-19 with more than 2.4 million cases, is on the latter list.
The full list of countries whose nationals will be allowed to enter Europe according to the draft list is as follows:
Algeria
Australia
Canada
Georgia
Japan
Montenegro
Morocco
New Zealand
Rwanda
Serbia
South Korea
Thailand
Tunisia
Uruguay
China *subject to confirmation of reciprocity
