May 25, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Finland’s defense ministry drafted a bill prohibiting Belarusian and Russian nationals from buying and selling real estate in Finland, yle.fi <\/em>reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public discussion of the document started on May 23 and will last until June 9, it noted.\u00a0Finnish authorities expect the amendments to be approved by the end of June. Until then, Belarusians and Russians will be able to make real estate transactions under existing rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Finnish MPs passed a law allowing the defense ministry to block real estate transactions for persons or organizations from states that wage a war of aggression or represent a threat to the security of Finland, the report said, noting that both Belarus and Russia meet these criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, a similar bill was prepared for the second reading in the Latvian Saeima. It was designed to prevent uncontrolled influence on the economy by the influx of foreigners into Latvia and the use of foreign capital and nationals against Latvian interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
