Russian Ministry of Agriculture finds it impossible for the official Russian delegation to take part in the "Green week" agrarian exhibition to be held in Berlin, after Agriculture Minister Alexander Tkachyov was denied visa because of his inclusion in the EU sanction list.
"This automatically made it impossible for the Russian delegation to take part in the forum, especially considering that international minister-level multilateral events, including the global agrarian forum and the extended format meeting of agriculture ministers was planned on the sidelines of the exhibition," the Ministry representatives said, TASS reports.
