It is planned to oblige citizens of Russia and Belarus to report their stay in Latvia. This is provided for by the rule, which is being developed by the Latvian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It is planned that Russians and Belarusians entering Latvia through the Schengen area will have to fill out an application for stay in the country.
"Let's be realistic — what does the influx of tourists from Russia and free movement in the Schengen area? In my opinion, this is a threat to internal security," said Latvian Interior Minister Richard Kozlovskis.
Let us remind you that over the past few years Latvia has been demonstrating an unfriendly policy towards Belarus and Russia. In addition, the Latvian authorities are the most active initiators of the spread of Russophobia in the EU.
