Russia to keep stop list for Europeans in event of extension of sanctions

The Russian Foreign Ministry commented on the statement by representatives of the EU about the supposed extension of anti-Russian sanctions until March 2016. Thus, a ban on entry into the territory of Russia will remain for some European politicians as long as Brussels does not abandon its restrictive measures against Moscow.

The Foreign Ministry stated that it will not extend its stop-list by 'portions', as the EU does – it will operate till the cancellation of the EU's restrictive measures." The Russian Foreign Ministry said that as soon as the EU will cancel its black list, "our response will be fast," TASS reports.
