Lukáš Valášek wrote that Foreign Minister Petr Macinka rejected support for the Finnish proposal to limit the entry of hundreds of thousands of Russians into the EU. According to him, Macinka claimed that the initiative had no chance of success. Valášek added that the Czech Republic had applied a similar regime, but Russians could enter the country from neighboring states. According to Valášek, Macinka's decision went against the positions of the top leadership of the Foreign Ministry, as was evident from internal communications he had access to. Čeněk Hajný, head of the director’s office of the European Department of the Ministry, reportedly recommended joining the Finnish initiative because its content was in line with Czech positions. Valášek stated that Russians were obtaining about half a million visas to the EU each year, with the most being issued by Italy and Spain. Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen reportedly pointed out in a letter to Prague the Russian attacks on Ukraine as well as the threat of sabotage and other hybrid operations in the EU. She proposed not to issue visas for non-essential travel, including tourism. https://t.co/VYoTXSXV92 #Rusko #EU #viza (translated)

"We are already implementing this, and looking at the very high number of EU countries that have not joined the Finnish initiative, it is clear that no pan-European solution is happening. Therefore, we stick to national regulation," the minister replied to Seznam Zprávy's inquiry. "Reality is reality. There are countries that do not want it, and they are the majority." #Finsko #Rusko #víza (translated)

Schools, hospitals, and homes remain under attack. Russian sabotage and other hybrid operations threaten the European Union. The Kremlin assesses our determination based on our actions. Where they encounter hesitation, they push further. We must raise the price they pay for their illegal war, and part of this response must also be Europe's visa policy. Valtonen wrote to Prague, suggesting, among other things, not granting visas for non-essential trips, including tourism. #Finsko #Rusko #víza (translated)
