The Russian ambassador was summoned to the Foreign Ministry of Sweden due to the sanctions of Moscow regarding the politicians of the European Union. About this on Saturday, May 1, reports RIA Novosti with reference to France-Presse (AFP).
According to the official representative of the Swedish Foreign Ministry, the Office is going to express the protest due to response measures entered by the Russian Federation. Sweden believes that Russian sanctions are not justified, legally not clear and express political motives. “
On April 30, Russia officially banned the entrance to its territory to eight citizens of the European Union and representatives of European structures. It is indicated that measures are taken in response to the restrictions imposed by the European side against the six Russians on March 2 and 22. The Russian Foreign Ministry said that such restrictions of the EU are illegitimate.
