Coalition for the European Continent Undivided by Visa Barriers was launched in Warsaw on November 26, 2010 on the initiative of the Stefan Batory Foundation. Today its members include more than 30 non-governmental organizations from different parts of Europe.

The coalition takes joint actions to speed up the process of EU visa liberalization with the countries of the Eastern Partnership (Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) and Russia. We want to make ourselves better heard by decision-makers and make a stronger stand for visa-free Europe.

The Coalition is the outcome of many years of collaboration between the member organisations. Jointly we have prepared reports and policy papers, recommendations and advocacy tools. The activities of the Coalition are coordinated within the Friendly EU Border project, the Open Europe Programme of the Stefan Batory Foundation.
 
The members of the Coalition’s Steering Committee include Joanna Fomina from the Stefan Batory Foundation (Warsaw), Olga Stuzhinskaya from the Office for a Democratic Belarus (Brussels) and Oleksandr Sushko from Europe without Barriers (Kyiv).
