Russia and Belarus have prepared a plan for the formation of a single migration space, reports Morning.ru With reference to the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Moscow and Minsk form a single migration space


I can inform you that (...) an action plan has already been agreed and submitted for discussion by the Council of Ministers of the Union State to form a single migration space for the next three years. This plan reflects the main elements that allow to move towards the formation of a single visa space,
Lavrov said at a press conference following talks with his Belarusian counterpart Vladimir Makei.

According to the Russian minister, “the harmonization of an intergovernmental agreement is being completed, which is dedicated to the mutual recognition of visas and coordination of actions on other issues” related to the “entry of foreign citizens and stateless persons into the territory of the States parties to the Treaty on the Establishment of the Union State”

He stressed that “the so-called“ border zones ”between the Russian Federation and Belarus have nothing to do with restricting the movement of citizens of two countries, but only mean one thing: since there are no borders, foreigners who need a visa to enter Russia must somehow fix the fact of its intersection ". “I am convinced that this problem will be solved without any bureaucratic barriers,” Lavrov added.

Professionals will find the opportunity to make such a decision was found. Now our border guards are taking appropriate steps, which, by and large, are inspired by similar measures that our Belarusian friends have already used for 3 years in order, while maintaining freedom of movement, yet to establish some kind of control over the movement of foreigners,
He stressed.

In turn, Makei said that Minsk does not intend to sever ties with Moscow.

We are not going anywhere away from Russia. We are well aware that our economies and our economic systems are closely intertwined. And we will never get away from the need to cooperate with each other,
said the head of the Foreign Ministry of Belarus.

At the same time, he noted that Minsk would like to have “safety pads” in the form of other countries and markets.

According to Lavrov, positive results are observed in economic cooperation between the two countries: “Belarus is Russia's first trading partner in the CIS space and the fourth trading partner among all countries of the world.”

              All these "common spaces" and "common tariffs" will be realities only within the framework of one country. I hope that I will live to see this unification.

                    The fact that our little Belarus is mentioned as a threat along with Russia personally fills me with pride. They ALREADY perceive us as one people and as a single enemy of NATO. good

        Let your words be to God’s ears! Yes
        I also hope that in Belarus Belarus will not be with foreign migrants like fruit for the Russian Federation, but it is unlikely that they will succeed! No. It’s good that at least officials sat down at the negotiating table!

          I doubt that the supply of fruit is authorized by the authorities of Belarus. Smuggling ways exist even for cocaine .., and for preventing the delivery of these devices to Russia, only our respective services and departments (Belarus did not impose sanctions on the supply) are responsible, for which money is paid ... because ... throw off their flaws on the neighboring republic is somehow not beautiful .... request

            Foreign so-called “labor” migrants are, of course, not Polish apples and fruits that penetrate Russia through Belarus! However, visa-free travel with R. Belarus in this - migrant - plan can be much worse for the Russian Federation than illegal edible products.
            First of all, in Belarus itself, you’ll even see its Belarusian “Maidan.” See Belarusian "maydanutye" for a pro-Western appendage to us in Russia. And secondly, the borders of R. Belarus itself are not very “locked”!

    The main thing is that Russian illegal immigrants do not go from Asia. Or the Caucasus.
    Russia does not want to introduce visas with them; all of Moscow has already been captured. Now will it all go to Belarus? (

      If Old Man introduces visa-free travel for 80 states, is it any wonder that checkpoints appeared on the border of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus ...

    Well I do not know. strangely enough, but visually, for me, there are fewer migrants. That year I visited May at VDNKh, so it seemed to me that the capital of our Motherland was Bishkek, and this year it was a lot less like Easter

      Definitely, there are fewer Gaster from Central Asia ... It seems that it is becoming unprofitable to become a laborer in Russia. request But there are still many of them, those who have settled down, acquired ties, families, many received citizenship ...
