The Green party is against the planned easing of the visa regime between Germany and Russia, persistently trying to link the issue with political freedoms and human rights in Russia. According to the bilateral agreements reached between Moscow and Berlin, Russian official passport holders and entrepreneurs may no longer need a visa to enter Germany in the near future.

"These are passports which are distributed by the Russian government to all the friends of the nomenclature" a deputy from the Green Party, Marie-Louise Beck, said about the official Russian passports. "At the same time, students and representatives of civil society have to stand in line in front of the consulate," Beck said, Die Welt writes.
