The European Union will be able to abolish visas for the Russians only after Russian Federation gets under control its southern frontiers. It was assumed by Viktor Ivanov, the director of FDCS (Federal Drug Control Service).
      
      The problem is that drugs (especially opiates) in large quantities are transported to Russia and European countries via the southern frontiers of Russia, mainly from Afghanistan. The way to solve this problem is introduction of biometric passports and maybe introduction of visa regime between Russia and the countries of Central Asia. The drug couriers use the simplified border-crossing regime existing on the frontiers of these countries and Russia.
      
      Earlier it was reported, that some difficulties different origin are standing on the way of visa abolition between EU and Russia. While all the problems are not solved, Russia-IC offers you Russian visa support, which lets you to get Russian visa support without much ado. All you need is to send us information required for applying for Russian visa using the form.
