BERLIN, Jul 2 The Russian Federation remains part of Europe, its history and the largest neighbor on the continent, Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg said Sunday in an interview with ORF television.
“Geography will not change. Russia will remain geographically our largest neighbor in Europe. Russia also remains a part of European history and culture,” he said.
Shallenberg recalled that in the discussion on visa bans for Russians, he opposed such measures.
