Mr. Konstantin Kosachev confirms to RIA Novosti that negotiations over necessary agreements on readmission are currently held with more than ten countries. The issue of visa-free travel was high on the agenda during the recent EU-Russia session in Khanti-Mansiisk in Russia Siberia. President Medvedev then proposed to outline possible time schedules and take concrete steps, which would bring the two neighbouring powers closer to the final goal – the implementation of visa-freedom.
