Some EU countries may personally ban visas for Russians
If the European Union disagrees with introducing a visa ban for Russians, then the Baltic countries, Poland, and Finland can independently make the appropriate decision.
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis stated this concerning the Lithuanian Delfi.
If an agreement is not reached, the Baltic countries, Poland, and Finland can decide to ban visas for Russians.
First, we will strive for a European solution because it is the most stable and correct from a legal point of view... If this does not happen, we do not exclude the possibility of finding a regional solution that would include the Baltic countries, Poland, and Finland — he declared.
As you know, there is still no consensus in the European Union on imposing restrictions on the issuance of tourist visas to citizens of the Russian Federation.
At the same time, the ban was supported in Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Finland, and the Czech Republic. At the same time, the German chancellor did not approve of such restrictions. He attributed this decision to a reluctance to make it harder for Russians to escape the Kremlin's dictatorship.
