Russia will never cancel visas for EU countries on a unilateral basis, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Wednesday, APA reports quoting sputniknews.

"It is possible to do this [to cancel the visa regime of Russia and the European Union] exclusively on the basis of mutuality," he said after talks with Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Alfonso Dastis.

According to Lavrov, "those who study the Russian position on the principles on which we build relations with other countries should not even ask whether we agree to grant someone such gifts unilaterally, without getting anything in return."
