EU suggests signing visa facilitation agreements with Belarus in January 2020

The EU suggests signing agreements on visa facilitation and readmission with Belarus in January 2020 in Brussels. This was stated by the press service of the European External Action Service following a meeting of the coordination group. The EU recalled that the cost of Schengen visas for Belarusian citizens will increase to 80 euros from February 2, 2020. But after the entry into force of the agreement on visa facilitation, the cost of Schengen visas for Belarusians will drop to 35 euros. A number of other requirements are going to be eased, too.
