Prime Minister of Moldova Vasili Tupan admitted that the republic could cancel the visa-free regime with Russia and Belarus. The reason is the European integration of the Republic and the corresponding requirements of the European Union. Moldova needs to adapt its legislation to EU standards. The current procedure allows Russian citizens to enter Moldova without a visa using a foreign passport and stay in its territory for up to 90 days within six months. Similar rules apply to citizens of Belarus. The former president and leader of the Party of Socialists of the Republic (PSRM) of Moldova, Igor Dudon, criticized Tupan's idea to cancel visa-free travel for Russians and Belarusians. Such a step would be a blow mainly to the citizens of Moldova, hundreds of thousands of whom live and work in the Russian Federation. Before that, the idea of canceling visa-free travel was also criticized by the Russian Foreign Ministry. Earlier, MP from the PSRM faction Bogdan Tirda said that the cancellation of visa-free travel with Russia was discussed behind the scenes by representatives of the ruling party of Moldova no. Previously, no one believed that Chisinau would begin to withdraw from the Commonwealth of Nations, make May 9 not Victory Day, but Europe Day, and introduce a fine of one thousand dollars for using the St. George film. However, now all this has become a reality.
