Emir Kusturica placed on "blacklist"

The director and musician Emir Kusturica was placed in the base of the Ukrainian "Peacemaker" site for visiting Crimea.

Kusturica was listed for "deliberate violation of Ukraine's state border and participation in activities in the territory of Crimea", Sputnjik reports from the Crimean website Crime. The information about Kusturica appeared in the "Purgatory" section, saying that "he deliberately violated the state border of Ukraine, denied Russian aggression, took part in the legalization of the Crimea annexation by illegal roaming in the territory of Crimea occupied by Russia."

Kusturica said earlier that he considered the unification of Crimea with Russia as an organic process and that he had always considered that peninsula to be Russian. Kusturica came to Crimea where she held a concert with her band.
