Finland introduces restrictions on the entry of Russian athletes into the country.
The new rules apply even to those athletes from the Russian Federation who compete in neutral status and already have a Schengen visa.
On November 12, the Finnish government issued a decree that the entry of Russian citizens into the country without compelling reasons "creates a threat to Finland's international relations," according to the website of the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In this regard, as of November 16, government agencies must deny such Russians a visa and entry into the country, even if Russian citizens pass through Finland to other Schengen countries.
Russian citizens may work on a Schengen visa only in areas that are critical to Finland's national interests, the government added.
