Latvia urges EU to restrict Russian tourist visas
Latvia is calling on the European Union to stop issuing tourist visas to Russian citizens amidst rising security concerns over hybrid attacks and threats linked to Russia. The Latvian authorities fear that continued visa issuance to Russians could allow elements that threaten the security of member states to enter. Latvia, which shares borders with Russia and Belarus, has seen an increase in security incidents related to Moscow, such as drone attacks. The country is also urging for the development of European resources to secure its eastern borders. Discussions are underway about reducing Russian visas and limiting personal and business trips, while other countries are adopting more cautious positions and waiting for European discussions on the possibility of a comprehensive ban.
