Evidence

Quotes

The government could extend the deadline for restrictions on Russian citizens’ entry into Latvia until spring next year, given that the security threat posed by Russia continues, according the draft order prepared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, LETA reported February 18.

The MFA notes that the order is currently in force until March 4. The order imposes restrictions on entry for Russian citizens who wish to cross the EU’s externalized border for tourism and entertainment purposes.

The draft order envisages extending the limit for one year - until March 4, 2025.
