Another European country stopped issuing visas to Russians and Belarusians
The Czech Republic will not issue visas and residence permits until March 2023
This is reported by the publication "Novinarnya" with reference to "Radio Prague".
The decision on non-issuance of documents will be valid until March 2023.
This step should serve to protect the foreign policy interests of the Czech Republic in connection with the armed conflict on the territory of Ukraine, caused by the invasion of Russian troops and supported by the Republic of Belarus, the press service of the Czech Foreign Ministry said.
The Czech Foreign Ministry believes that such actions may put pressure on the Russian Federation and Belarus to stop the invasion and ensure the security of the Czech Republic.
