When Russian diplomats are banned from free movement to the EU, European diplomats in Russia will also be restricted in travel. This was stated to TASS by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
"According to Vysotsky's apt expression, their diplomats will be "saddled and hobbled" in response," Zakharova said.
Earlier, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky said that the new 19th package of sanctions The EU against Russia may contain a ban on the free movement of Russian diplomats within the Schengen area.
