Lithuania was first against Russian tourists

The countries of the European Union should immediately annul the Schengen visas issued by the Russians. To this is called by Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielus Landsbergis, writes Politico.

“Together we must find a general effective solution in order to make a ban on visas most effective. And, starting from the present, I must say clear” no “to tourists from Russia and Belarus … At the same time, continue to accept those who need Shelter, not a vacation in Europe, ”he said.

According to Gabrielus Landsbergis, this question can be divided into two camps: those who will continue to issue visas to the Russians and those who are ready to annul them tomorrow.

A senior diplomat proposed to cancel previously issued visas at least for the period of the war in Ukraine.
