Most of the delegation from Russia did not receive visas to participate in the session of the UN Special Committee

It is reported by RIA Novosti.

"Representatives of the Prosecutor General's Office, the Investigative Committee, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Justice did not receive Austrian visas to participate in our session," said Ernest Chernukhin, deputy head of the Russian delegation in Vienna.

According to him, in Moscow, such behavior on the part of Austria is regarded as an act of political pressure and the creation of obstacles to open negotiations on an international important treaty.

Chernukhin stressed that in this way Austria violates its obligations as one of the countries where the UN headquarters are located.

The head of the legal reference of the Russian permanent mission to the UN, Sergei Leonidchenko, said earlier that the United States refused to issue a visa to The Deputy Minister of Labor of Russia Alexei Vovchenko.

He planned to participate in the work of the 61st session of the Commission for Social Development of the world organization.

Leonidchenko also said that in December, the United States imposed new restrictions on the movement of Russian UN diplomats.
