Germany announced the tightening of visa policies for Russian citizens and called on the European Union countries to come up with a general position in restrictions on the Schengen zone, reports DW.

New restrictions provide for a tighter auditing applicants, as well as a reduction in Russian categories that can receive visas. At the same time, Berlin emphasizes that humanitarian cases, in particular, the removal of opposition numbers or people undergoing persecution in the Russian Federation, will continue to remain priority.
