Estonian Foreign Affairs Minister: E.U. should not award visa-free travel to Russians before awarding it to Eastern Partnership countries

Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet recently told Russian news agency Interfax that "it will hardly be reasonable from a political point of view to solve this question [Imedia: visa-free travel] with Russia earlier than with the participants of the Eastern Partnership program."

Mr. Paet was reacting to statements by Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, who recently said that Russians could travel to the E.U. without visas as early as 2010.
