Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday that the time is ripe for scrapping the visa regime between Russia and EU.
"We want a visa free regime," Medvedev said. "We think that we are ready for this; our businesses and people are in favor of it; you could say it is the spirit of the time," Medvedev said at a press-conference on results of the Russian-German interstate consultations.
Medvedev said Russia had sent a draft of the agreement on the visa-free regime to the EU.
