The
Russian government has issued a list with the names of those barred from
travelling to Russia.
I
have reviewed it with some detail. It is a mixed bag of second rate EU
personalities, nothing more. It pulls together members of parliament, a few
politicians, including local ones, another couple of opinion makers, and a
handful of senior civil servants from different EU countries.
It
is obviously a list to retaliate. Most of those on the list have little power
to decide about the European relations with Moscow. They might be vocal, in a
few cases, but I am not even sure the EU leaders listen to them.
The
best approach to the Putin list is to ignore it.
