Latvia Draws Russian Fire Over Visa and Border Disputes
Original: латвия
Latvia is at the centre of several Russia-related stories drawing attention in Russian-language media. European Union talks about restricting ordinary Schengen visas for Russians are under debate, with Latvia among the hardline voices. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused Latvian Prime Minister of ignoring riots in the EU after his comments on visas, while Alexander Lukashenko claimed Latvia staged an armed raid allegedly launched from Belarus. The claims are contested.
Why now: Rising tensions between Latvia and Russia over EU visa policy and border incident accusations are fuelling coverage.
