The European Parliament proposes to ban Russians from vacationing in the Schengen area.
The initiative is related to the number of Russian tourists in the EU.
Members of the European Parliament from the German CDU/CSU bloc proposed to ban Russians from vacationing in Schengen countries. This was reported by RIA Novosti. According to the deputies, in 2025 about half a million Russian citizens spent their holidays in Europe. In social networks, the group expressed the opinion that the issuance of tourist visas to Russians should be stopped. "It is time to stop issuing Schengen tourist visas to Russian tourists. A vacation in the EU is a privilege, not a right," the group's account states. It also became known about the refusal to issue a Schengen visa to Artemy Lebedev.
