The Kremlin warned today that Russia will formulate an appropriate response to the alleged plan of the European Union to restrict the movement of Russian diplomats within the bloc, Reuters reported, BTA reported.
EU countries are currently preparing an agreement to restrict the movement of Russian diplomats within the union, but no agreement has yet been reached on the issue, European diplomats told the agency.
A similar measure, proposed by the EU diplomatic service, would force Russian diplomats stationed in one EU country to notify another EU country if they want to travel there. This would allow governments to deny them access.
„Of course there will be a response. Our diplomatic service will formulate proposals and they will be applied“, said Peskov, commenting on the topic.
“In general, we can only add that, to our regret, the Europeans are actively reviving their ability to build new dividing walls“, added the Kremlin spokesman, quoted by TASS.
