    Russia hopes to reach agreement with the European Union on visa-free travel in the next 18 months.

    This came in a statement by the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
    He was speaking at a news conference following today’s talks with his Cypriot counterpart, Erartu Kozakou-Markuli in Moscow.

    That will benefit Russian tourism, to be sure. Brazilian tourism in Russia increased by more than 100% following implementation of visa waiver, as did business relationships. the EU needs Russia!
