Putin proposes EU-Russia visa-free travel

President Vladimir Putin has presented EU leaders with a bold proposal to consider visa-free travel between Russia and the EU as a way to resolve the dispute over Russia’s Baltic Sea enclave of Kaliningrad.

Putin suggested the EU leaders “consider a new Russian integration initiative that envisages putting into practice the ambitious goal of a shift in the future to visa-free travel for citizens of Russia and the EU,” said his Kremlin press service.
