Uzbekistan is discussing the introduction of a visa regime for Russian citizens. This proposal was voiced by the leader of the Milliy Tiklanish party, Alisher Kadyrov. He called on the Central Asian countries to unite to tighten migration policy towards Russia.

Kadyrov expressed concern about possible instability in Russia, which, according to him, could provoke an increase in the number of relocators seeking to move to economically stable Uzbekistan. The politician believes that the visa regime will help regulate the flow of migrants and protect the national interests of the country.

The initiative sparked discussion in the society. Supporters believe that this will preserve socio-economic stability, while opponents point to the importance of open borders for economic cooperation with Russia.

At the moment, no decision has been made on Kadyrov's proposal, but his words emphasize the relevance of migration issues in the region. Uzbekistan strives to maintain a balance between attractiveness for relocators and protection of domestic interests.
