For weeks now, the member states have been arguing about a visa regime for Russian tourists. Countries like Poland and Estonia would have preferred a complete entry ban on vacation travel and shopping trips of Russians to the EU. Now it is clear that a far-reaching travel ban will not happen for the time being. However, foreign ministers have agreed in Prague to suspend visa facilitation for Russians, reports Ella Joyner. And after the talks, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis sees the option of introducing even stricter regulations at the national level.
