Authorities of the Independent should stop and stop forbidding foreigners to come to Crimea, believes the head of the Crimean Parliament Committee on Interethnic Relations Yuri Gempel. "The Kiev authorities should stop wasting time on such actions, they would be better off dealing with problems inside Ukraine, which they have a lot of," Hempel told RIA Novosti commenting on the information that the Ukrainian embassy in Prague protested in connection with the visit the peninsula of the Czech delegation led by the European Parliament deputy Yagomir Koglicek. Hempel stressed that Kiev will not achieve its goals, pursuing foreigners, since these measures have no effect.

"It is impossible today to stop the process of warming between Europe and Russia, which is especially outlined in the field of human relations," the Crimean politician. Earlier it was reported that the Ukrainian ambassador to Slovakia, Yuri Mushka, publicly announced to a group of deputies of the Slovak parliament planning a trip to the Crimea, about the inadmissibility of visiting the peninsula. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Slovakia in response to this asked Mushka to express his opinion in a standard diplomatic form.
