Politico: The 13th package of sanctions may include travel restrictions for Russian diplomats
The European Union (EU) may ban Russian diplomats from traveling throughout the Schengen area. Plans to restrict the movement of representatives of the Russian diplomatic corps as part of the 13th package of sanctions against Russia are reported Politico.
“The idea of restricting the travel of Russian diplomats only within the territory of the country in which they are accredited, and not throughout the Schengen area, is being considered,” said a European diplomat who wished to remain anonymous.
As the publication notes, the Czech Republic has been asking the European Union to introduce similar measures for a long time.
Earlier it became known that the 13th package of anti-Russian sanctions being developed in the EU will be largely symbolic. It is clarified that the package will include new lists and a ban on more companies from exporting dual-use goods.
