Russia seeks to liberalize immigration policy, move could attract more Moldovans to work there

Igor Shuvalov, Russia's first deputy Prime Minister, said during a press conference yesterday that his country would like to liberalize immigration policy in 2010.

Mr. Shuvalov said that Russia seeks to attract more people from Moldova, Ukraine, and Central Asia.

A considerable number of Moldovans work in Russia, usually in construction. It is easier for Moldovan citizens to go East, because they do not need a visa for Russia whereas they do for European Union countries.
