The statement of the Foreign Ministry of Poland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia states that the termination of the simplified visa agreement with the Russian Federation is a necessary measure. In addition, it is necessary to sharply limit the issuance of tourist visas. Countries have asked the European Commission to propose appropriate visa measures that could be implemented in the EU.
It is worth noting that until such measures are taken at the EU level, the Baltic countries bordering on Russia and Belarus will not exclude the possibility of introducing at the national level temporary measures for prohibition on issuing visas to citizens of the Russian Federation. They can also impose restrictions on the border crossing for Russians with EU visas.
According to Financial Times, from the end of February this year, when the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine, Finland, Poland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, about 700,000 Russian citizens have entered, most of them were tourists. Earlier, we reported that the EU foreign ministers this week will approve the cancellation of the agreement with Moscow on the simplified procedure for issuing Schengen visas to the Russians.
