Baltic states don't rule out regional visa ban for Russians

Lithuania’s foreign minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said that if the EU won’t agree on a visa ban for Russian tourists, he won’t rule out looking for a regional solution that could involve the Baltic states, Poland and possibly Finland.

Landsbergis said Tuesday he prefers "a European solution because it’s the most sustainable and legally correct.” “If such a solution is not found, we do not rule out looking for a regional solution,” Landsbergis said. He didn't elaborate on what that might be.

The visa issue will be raised at an informal meeting of European Union foreign ministers on August 31.
