The minister believes the introduction of visa-freedom would bear witness of Russia’s and the EU’s joint support to the development of relations on all levels, Interfax reports. He does not believe however that the time has come for the introduction of double citizenships.
In today’s meeting with EU business representatives, the foreign minister also said that Russia and the EU are negotiating about the possible introduction of facilitated labour movement, and that relations now have reached a level when the EU can be called Russia’s strategic partner, Vz.ru reports with reference to RIA Novosti..
