On February 15, the Vilnius Regional Administrative Court received a request from the lawyer of this Russian and Bulgarian citizen to demand this decision from the Migration Department and to annul it, judicial representative Audris Kutrevičius informed BNS.
The court is currently deciding whether Kirkirk’s appeal is admissible.
The Russian singer’s lawyer, Linas Makaveckas, told BNS on Wednesday that he has not yet been able to obtain a decision from the Migration Department to add the singer to the list of foreigners banned from entering Lithuania, so the complaint is still unfounded. .
“We only learned that information from the public sphere (about the entry ban – BNS). As a lawyer, I asked the Immigration Department in writing on February 5, but we received no response. And time passes. We have no argument or motivation, so that complaint continues without arguments, “said the lawyer.
On January 19, at the request of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Migration Department added the Russian artist F. Kirkorov to the list of undesirable persons in Lithuania. The ban on the artist coming to Lithuania is valid for five years.
“Performers who publicly justify the occupation of Crimea should not be tolerated in any democracy. We have an unequivocal position on the issue of such actors, therefore there was no question about the inclusion of F. Kirkorov on the list of undesirable people in Lithuania, ”Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė said at the time.
According to Foreign Minister Gabriel Landsbergis, the well-known artist, during his repeated visits to the illegally annexed Crimean peninsula, “deliberately denied the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and thus indirectly justified the aggressive actions of the Russian Federation”.
According to G.Landsbergis, the participation of F.Kirkorov in concerts in Crimea “substantially damages the national security of Lithuania”.
