Russia does not plan to introduce visas with the CIS countries, but citizens of the CIS countries should cross the border on foreign travel passports, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said.

"We now have visa-free relations with the CIS countries and we don't plan to introduce any visa regimes with such countries, unless some sort of situation emerges," Medvedev said in an interview with leading Russian television channels, summing up the results of the year.

At the same time, he added that "we plan to make the crossing of the border civilized." "It should not be some papers, because that is not right. We are different countries and we are developing differently, therefore, be so kind and produce foreign travel passports," Medvedev said.
