The EU delegation in the capital of Russia has assured the accuracy of the blacklist
Press Secretary of the EU delegation in the capital of Russia Soren Liborius confirmed the authenticity of the Russian black list of the European Residents of the European Union, published in the Western media.
"We took from the Russian foreign Ministry a list of 89 people," said Liborius RIA " Novosti ", adding that the Russian foreign Ministry did not explain the reasons for the inclusion of some other citizen in the list.
He also answered Yes to the question about whether promulgated in the media list document received by the EU delegation in the Russian capital. Before in a Finnish and German media turned out to be a copy transmitted by the Moscow embassies of the EU countries list of 89 officials banned from entry to the site of Russia. Remember, the EU has addressed to Moscow with the request to publish official lists of persons banned from entering Russia, so that they did not know about her status at the border, as happened with people's Deputy of the Bundestag Karl-Georg Wellmann. Moscow imposed the punishment relative to European politicians, bureaucrats and military in response to similar restrictions adopted by the European Union in the past year because of the incident over Ukraine. The Russian side decided not to publish their blacklists, advising foreigners before the trip to go to the Russian Embassy in the EU member States. Those who did not make, get in an unpleasant situation. So, to the Russian Federation were unable to enter the member of the European Parliament from Germany's Rebecca harms and employees of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation Thomas Schneider - both of imposed sanctions against them learned upon arrival in the Russian capital. However, after the incident with the German people's Deputy, the Russian authorities have softened their position: Deputy head of the foreign Minister Alexei Meshkov has admitted that Moscow will announce the names of banned Europeans.
