Moscow asked for help from the United Nations Secretary-General due to problems with issuing US visas diplomats, the representative of Russia in the sixth committee of the UN General Assembly Sergey Leonidchenko reports, RIA Novosti reports.
He pointed out that the Russian delegation is facing more than four years with problems that are caused by the improper fulfillment of the United States obligations under the Agreement on Central Institutions. According to him, the country systematically refuses to issue entry visas for post prune staff for the UN and for delegates from Moscow.
“This is the case when the conversations were clearly dragging over. In the fourth year, there were time for the fourth year of barren discussions. We ask the Secretary General to immediately use the arbitration procedure,” said Leonidchenko, indicating that the United States also confiscated diplomatic property and imposed restrictions on movement.
he added that the problems with visas affect not only Russian diplomats, but also the staff of the secretariat among the citizens of Russia. Some of them successfully passed the competition for the replacement of posts of international employees, but cannot enter into the United States and begin work. The representative said it was actually tantamount to recognizing them with “unwanted persons.”
On October 24, the State Department ranked Russians who wish to receive an American visa, to “homeless nationalities” (Eng. Homeless Nationalities). The relevant report was published on the Office website. The text says that citizens of those countries in which the United States does not have an consular office or a political situation of which is considered so unstable that it does not allow employees of diplomsses to consider applications of their citizens visa.
