Moscow, Nov 28 (IANS/RIA Novosti)
Russia's upper house of parliament Wednesday approved a bill simplifying visa procedures for foreign volunteers at the 2014 Sochi Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The legislation would halve visa processing times for the as-yet unknown portion of the 25,000 volunteers to come from abroad.
The bill now goes to President Vladimir Putin for signing into law.
