The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a note to Russian diplomats refusing to issue visas for the entire Russian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly session of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
The reason for the refusal was Russia’s war against Ukraine. The session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly should be held in Bucharest at the end of June, Russian Senator Grigory Karasin said in his Telegram channel, but Russia received a note from the Romanian Foreign Ministry.
The document states that given the “Russian aggression against Ukraine,” none of the members of the Russian delegation will be issued a visa or allowed to enter the country.
Misleading headline. Romania didn’t deny that they did it, they simply didn’t issue the visas to start with:
Romania denies
issuingvisas for entire Russian delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Bucharest over “aggression against Ukraine”Done, thanks.
