Russian Ambassador to Lithuania Alexander Udalcov said that Russia wants broader visa-free movement over the border between Lithuania and the Kaliningrad region

During his visit to the Parliament, the diplomat said that such an agreement between Russia and Poland has proved its worth. Therefore, Moscow is offering a broader Lithuanian border area, where residents of the Kaliningrad region could travel without a visa, but only with long-term special permits.

Lithuania is purportedly in agreement with applying a simplified procedure to the whole area, but takes the position that visa-free entry to the country would only be applied in the area 30 to 50 kilometers from the border.
