The Union State of Russia and Belarus will act from a unified position in the international arena. The authorities of the two countries are set on this very clearly, so now the heads of foreign affairs agencies have to agree on many of the nuances. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus Vladimir Makei during his visit to Moscow on November 14-15 should sign jointly with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov the Program of concerted actions in the field of foreign policy of the Union State for 2018-2019. As the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova told on the eve, during the talks the ministers "compare positions on actual international and regional problems", will discuss the nuances of "interaction in international organizations, including the UN and the OSCE". However, we must admit that these issues will not cause great friction between the parties. Minsk, maybe, would like to have its own weight in the world political arena, but realizes that it is interesting to other participants of world processes only as a neighbor of Russia. The issue of mutual recognition of visas in the Union State. Here, the aspects of the external relations of countries were mixed, and their bilateral relations. And then it turns out that to make such a logical step - to strengthen the overall external border, but to level the internal - is quite difficult. For example, Georgian citizens in Belarus are free to enter, and to visit Russia you need a visa. Or here Kiev threatens to break diplomatic relations with Moscow, but it is very friendly with Minsk. How, in such a situation, is it possible to declare uniform rules for the crossing by citizens of third countries of the borders of the Union State? Two years ago it was planned that the decision on mutual recognition of visas Russia and Belarus will take until 2017. Expires, there are no answers to many questions. Moreover, since February this year Minsk has opened the doors for citizens of 80 countries - henceforth they can fly to the republic without visas and stay for 5 days. In Russia, such tourists can not, but after all, on the fact of internal borders between the Union State participants there, so travelers can easily find themselves in any part of both Belarus and Russia.

According to political scientist Svetlana Grechulina, an agreement on mutual recognition of visas will still be signed in the near future, but with restrictions. "The document will only affect citizens of those countries with which Belarus and Russia have the same visa regime," she said RT. To pull and coordinate other aspects of the agreement is dangerous: the Belarusians are a sensitive and inconstant people.

You look, again, will sign a law that is contrary to the spirit of the Union State, and then both sides to think about what to do about it. Meanwhile, Batka Lukashenka is in good spirits. On the eve, being in Kaliningrad, said that he does not divide the territory of Russia and Belarus, but considers it a unified. "You can always count on Belarus. In a difficult moment, we always put a shoulder, "- quotes the President of Velta. by. Judging by this attitude, Makey's visit to Moscow will be very productive.
