Putin has declared readiness to cancel immediately visas for the EU citizens

In any moment Russia is ready to enter a visa-free regime with the countries of the European Union, but only on the mutual basis. Such information was declared by Vladimir Putin.
Russian president has told that Russia is ready to enter a visa-free regime at any moment. According to Putin’s words the only problem is that their partners in the Europe are not ready for this yet. The President has emphasized that the Europe should be the continent without borders, and it is necessary to aspire to this. And no matter whether it would be the visa regime facilitations or visa-free regime, all this should be done on the mutual basis.
If Russia will continue to cooperate with the EU, it will finally lead to a visa-free regime. The visa-free regime is good for everything but not only for the development of tourism.
It is worth of mentioning that last week Russian government and Euro Parliament have ratified the agreements on the facilitated order of visas reception to students, scientists, journalists, sportsmen, officials and of some other categories of citizens.
