Finnish Foreign Ministry: Schengen visas already issued to Russians are not planned to be canceled

He said this at a joint press conference with his Estonian counterpart Urmas Reinsalu.

“Yesterday our government was talking about visas, and we will also limit the issuance of tourist visas to 10%.

We do not touch old visas, they are still valid.

There are no checks at the borders of countries in the Schengen area.

We want to increase the pressure for more action.

This will be discussed at a meeting at the EU level at the end of August, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Earlier it was reported that the Finnish authorities approved the Foreign Ministry's proposal to reduce the issuance of visas to Russians by ten times from September.
