Russia and the European Union (EU) on Monday agreed to continue dialog on a visa-free regime, with service passport holders likely to be allowed to travel without visas soon, but a new Russian law on personal data protection might be an obstacle to the adoption of a possible deal.
Russian Ambassador at Large Anvar Azimov and EU Director General for Home Affairs Stefano Manservisi met in Moscow on Monday. Manservisi told reporters after the meeting that the issue of a visa-free regime for service passport holders may be resolved in a matter of weeks, SIA reports quoting RIA Novosti.
Moscow wants the EU to cancel visas for officials holding special biometric passports. Such documents are issued to employees of various state bodies, such as the presidential administration, the parliament, the Supreme Court and state corporations who travel on an official assignment.
