"The Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation became an enclave within the EU as a consequence of the EU enlargement in 2004 and since then, has had its ties with its neighbours considerably circumscribed. There have been a number of EU initiatives in the last few years to facilitate the movement of Kaliningrad residents. Among the various measures that have been adopted, there is the establishment of a Facilitated Rail Transit Document for travel between Kaliningrad and mainland Russia. Furthermore, in 2007, the EU and Russia entered into the Visa Facilitation Agreement, which simplifies the issuance of short-term visas for all Russian nationals travelling to Schengen countries. Local border areas constitute a very important tool developed by the European Union to ensure that artificial and arbitrary barriers are not erected between peoples living in regions divided by national frontiers. Member States must therefore conclude bilateral agreements with neighbouring third countries with the objective of promoting sustained contacts between the peoples living on either side of the European Union’s external frontiers."@en1
