Why not give the Russians Schengen
Writes Anton Spout:
"The Russian Foreign Ministry has long and unsuccessfully negotiating with the EU on a bilateral abolition of short-term tourist visas.
Today it became known that before the end of 2014 an agreement on the matter should not be expected.
At the same time became clear, and the reason why the negotiations have stalled.
Minister Lavrov and his subordinates for many years told us that the problem with Schengen visas ...
... For the Russians - to the intransigence of the European side. Like, every Albanians visa-free entry to the Bosniaks have already made, and to give our people reject - purely Russophobian considerations. And, of course, there is no chance that Russia will go to any unilateral concessions cursed Russophobes (both at different times did Vietnam, Hong Kong, Israel, Cyprus, Turkey and dozens of other countries that, in order to attract foreign tourists, removed restrictions on short-term entry for foreign visitors). Even for the Sochi Olympics, our Foreign Ministry is not ready nor any visa exemptions, if they will not be strictly a mirrored character. Because Soviet - own pride.
Whatever relates to such a position, it is at least understandable. But it turns out that the agreement with the European Union torpedoed completely upside down, pointed to Mr. Lavrov. His colleagues from the EU for a long time have already agreed to provide a short-term visa-free travel for Russian citizens entering the Schengen countries, in exchange for the same opening of the borders of the Russian Federation for their own citizens. Because in fact there is no logic why Albanians and Bosniaks can and Russians - can not.
The catch is that the Russian Foreign Ministry as such refuses to sign the agreement. He put forward a categorical demand that the contract was introduced a special procedure for entry into the euro area for the citizens of Category A notorious as well as several special categories of nomenclature. Our Foreign Ministry demands that representatives of the domestic nomenklatura who hold a service passport blue (not to be confused with diplomatic) visa granted the right to indefinite stay in the EU. Such "spetssubektov" in Russia there are already 150,000. Why do they need the right to visa-free stay in the EU without time limits - no need to wonder: have there real estate, bank accounts, and children learn. But the EU authorities for some reason do not agree to turn the agreement on short-term tourist visas, which they agree to conclude in March 2013, an agreement on the special status of the Russian nomenclature of the European continent. The Europeans say: let's discuss the subject of the current agreement, the general procedure for short-term entry to all citizens of ours and yours. On the privileges of the nomenclature for spetssubektov talk when you can explain to us, in a procedure issued by those same blue passport. But Lavrov responds to it: then fuck you, not two-sided cancellation turviz, russophobes damned. Who are you to fucking lecture me ?!
The position of principle, do not say anything. Russian Foreign Ministry can not allow all citizens of Russia was immediately granted the same access to the Schengen area, with no differentiation by the color of his pants. Better to let anyone from the Russians do not get than all at once and equally.
Here's a touching concern for the national pride of the Great. »
