Spanish E.U. presidency: “Our goal is the abolishment of the visa regime between Russia and the European Union”

Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos recently said during his visit to Moscow that "our goal is the abolishment of the visa regime between Russia and the European Union.”

Previously, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini has expressed support for this move, while Estonian officials objected to the idea of granting visa-free travel to Russians before giving them to members of the Eastern Partnership, including Moldova.

Moldovan officials have not yet commented upon these recent statements by European officials.
