The Russian Embassy of Latvia said that Russians when crossing the border Latvia faces various provocations and “blatant demands,” writes RBC.
So, the Russians complained that they were forced to sign a statement condemning the Russian authorities. “In case of refusal to do this, as practice shows, they can not only refuse entry, but also put them on the blacklist,” the diplomats said.
Earlier, the authorities of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland imposed an entry ban on citizens of the Russian Federation and Belarus who had previously been issued Schengen visas and visas of other EU countries from September 19.
