The United Kingdom denied visas to the Russian delegation to attend the July session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, First Deputy Head of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Vladimir Dzhabarov said.

"Given that all members of the permanent delegation of the Russian Federal Assembly are on the UK sanctions lists, we timely requested the leadership of the assembly, as well as the Russian Foreign Ministry, to elaborate and resolve the issue of the British side's guarantee of issuing our parliamentarians entry visas to Britain to participate in this most important inter-parliamentary event," Vladimir Dzhabarov said at the Federation Council meeting.

"We have received an essentially outrageous response that the British government - literally - cannot issue visas to members of the Russian delegation to the OSCE PA for whatever purpose they visit the country," he said.

According to Dzhabarov, the 29th annual session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly will be held July 2-6 in the UK city of Birmingham.
