EU state calls for Schengen ban on Russians


Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braze has called on EU member states to stop issuing Schengen tourist visas to Russian citizens, claiming they pose a threat to the bloc’s internal security. Braze’s calls echo those by the country’s interior minister, Rihards Kozlovskis, who said in March it was the EU’s “moral duty” to impose an outright visa ban on Russian tourists. Kozlovskis claimed the EU “must admit” that it is “in a hybrid war” with Russia and urged the bloc to “seriously recognize the threat” that Russian tourists allegedly pose to the EU’s internal security.
