Europe gives Russia a piece of Schengen visa pie

Europe gives Russia a piece of Schengen visa pie - English pravda.ru

Will Russians be allowed to travel within the E.U. without the need of passports or customs control. This would encourage trade and tourism, certainly, but would open the door to claims of bias and preferential treatment for a non E. U. country. So why, they will say, can't we all have the same deal? How can the E.U. then possibly object as the precedent has been set in the case or Russia should these plans go through. A dangerous thing to do.
