"Unfriendly steps towards Russia and increased control by national regulators over compliance with the sanctions regime led to the fact that Russian houses in Romania and Slovenia were forced to suspend work indefinitely, in Bulgaria, Denmark, Moldova, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic — to significantly limit their activities, and in North Macedonia, Croatia and Montenegro. — completely stop working," the organization said.

Currently, Russian houses in Austria, Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany, Denmark, Greece, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Finland, France and the Czech Republic continue to operate in Europe. Pressure remains on the part of European governments regarding the existing Russian houses. However, depending on the approaches to EU regulations at the domestic level, sanctions measures are diverse.

"Most of the restrictions are related to the implementation of financial and economic activities. In particular, foreign banks are introducing limits on the annual financing of Russian homes. Rossotrudnichestvo is experiencing difficulties in bringing funds to its representative offices. We are facing difficulties in implementing financial settlements with local suppliers of utilities, electricity, communications and blocking settlements related to the implementation of the program activities of Russian homes," the organization said.

The European Union added Rossotrudnichestvo to the sanctions list in 2022.
