(ANSA) - BELGRADE, AUG 25 - Slovenian Foreign Minister Tanja
Fajon opposes the proposal that the EU stop issuing tourist
visas to Russian citizens, the Slovenian news agency STA
reported. On Wednesday, Fajon spoke at the Alpbach Forum in
Austria, noting that the measure would also harm those who
oppose President Vladimir Putin's policies and want to leave the
country.
"I'm not in favour of limiting tourist visas," Fajon noted. "Any visa restrictions would also prevent people who oppose Putin's policies and want to leave Russia from leaving the country. I believe that abolishing visas would be a risky move which could boomerang back on us," Fajon said. (ANSA).
