In the near future, Moldova intends to join the additional restrictions of the European Union against a number of Russian citizens.

According to APA, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Nicolae Popescu said this on the air of "Free Europe" radio.

"We are mainly talking about banning entry to Moldova, blocking bank accounts or assets," the diplomat explained.

According to him, about 10 Russian citizens will be included in the list of sanctions.

The decision has already been made, but it will take time to complete the procedures.
