Czechs to propose EU tightens passport rules for Russians

PRAGUE (Reuters) - The Czech Republic will ask European Union partners to only allow entry into the border control-free Schengen area to Russians who hold biometric passports, Czech Interior Minister Vita Rakusan said on Wednesday.

"We will call on our European colleagues... to require Russian citizens (to hold) biometric passports for entering the Schengen area so we have clear certainty that the person entering with the passport really is that person," Rakusan said.

Most of the bloc is part of the Schengen zone.

Rakusan said he would also work with the foreign ministry on possible tightening visa issuance rules for Russians while creating special visas for people persecuted in Russia for being associated with Russian opposition, he said.

Tourists or otherwise.

There is nothing you need from Russia that can’t be found in another part of the world.

Russia’s economy is comparable to that of Italy that doesn’t spend anywhere close to what Russia spends on its military.

CRUSH THEM! Don’t accept their products, their money - or their people.
