President Tarja Halonen is in Moscow this week to discuss the roadmap towards visa-free travel between EU and Russia.

Tarja Halonen is meeting President Dmitri Medvedev and they will share their views on European security architecture, the strategic partnership between Russia and the EU in addition to the talks on the coming visa-freedom.
