According to reports, Estonian Prime Minister Kaya Karas said on social media on the 9th: "To stop issuing tourist visas to Russians. Visiting Europe is a preferential treatment, not human rights." Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Malin During an interview with the media, "when Russia launched the" Aggression War "in Europe, the Russian people can still live a normal life and travel in Europe.

There are still many countries that have not closed the door to Russia

Since the outbreak of Russia and Ukraine, some European countries have adopted visa restrictions on Russia. According to Russia's "Business News" reported on the 9th, earlier, Latvia and Poland had repeatedly proposed to prevent Russian passengers from entering Europe. At the same time, some EU countries such as Latvia and the Czech Republic have suspended visa to Russian citizens, and the Consulate Russian citizens from Poland, Denmark, and the Netherlands have been obtained from the visa. It is actually impossible. According to Russia's Lianta.com report on the 10th, so far nine EU countries including Belgium and Lithuania have almost completely stopped issuing a Schengen visa to Russian citizens, and Finland and Norway have intended to join this ranks in the near future.

However, many European countries still have no choice but to close the door to Russia. A person in charge of the Russian Travel Agency Alliance stated that Russian citizens can still apply for Schengen visas as usual, of which it is easier to apply for visas in Bulgaria, Hungary and Greece's visa centers.

There is still a lot of room for

Despite the tough attitude of some European neighboring countries in Russia, the British "Financial Times" pointed out that most European countries still be cautious about the rejection of all Russian citizens. The relevant person in charge of the European Commission said that some EU countries suspended with the Russian convenience visa agreement "for the time being will not affect ordinary Russian citizens". In addition, "member states have a lot of room for reducing or stopping long -term visas and residence."

Finnish Foreign Minister Harvent told the Business News that Finland has not stopped issuing a Schengen visa to Russian citizens. The problem is still "discussing at the government level", but it is still unclear when it will make any decisions.

Associate Professor Nicholas Toppoin, an associate professor at the School of International Relations of Moscow, said that from the perspective of the EU legislative, foreign exchanges and visa policies are not the exclusive authority of the European Union, and the EU has no right to take any binding behavior in this regard. Visa issuance and visa -free system shall be specified by the Schengen Code, which belongs to the common jurisdiction of Brussels and member states. He believes that the number of countries that implement visa restrictions on Russia may indeed increase, but this situation is unlikely to happen throughout the European Union.

According to the Russian "News", the Director of the Russian Federal Tourism Agency, Dogosova, said on the 10th that it is expected that Europe will not rashly make a decision to restrict Russia's entry, otherwise European countries will suffer greater losses. She said that Russian passengers spending in European countries up to billions of dollars each year, and anyone who is rational will oppose this restriction and will not make a light decision. ▲
