The new package of anti-Russian sanctions from the European Union (EU) has banned the provision of tourism services in Russia. This was reported by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, Margus Tsahkna, whose words are cited on the ministry's website.
It is clarified that this decision was made to reduce Russian revenues. Sanctions against the tourism sector will also help prevent unnecessary trips to the Russian Federation. The ministry emphasized that this is necessary in light of the "risk of detention of EU citizens."
At the same time, visa restrictions were not included in the new sanctions package.
The adoption of the 19th package was delayed for several weeks due to objections from Hungary, Slovakia, and Austria, which joined them. However, ultimately all complaints regarding the sanctions were lifted.
