Belarusian MFA tries to threaten EU
The question on the return of EU
ambassadors to Minsk will be discussed only if sanctions against the Belarusian
regime are not imposed. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus links the
return of European ambassadors to Minsk to a decision of the EU on new
sanctions.
“It's reasonable to suggest that the return of European
ambassadors cannot be discussed today if the EU continues to threaten to
introduce new sanctions on March 23. Let's wait till this date and then we will
look for solutions also regarding the return of the ambassadors,” the statement
of Maryia Vanshyna, the head of the
Belarusian MFA press service and deputy head of the information department,
says. The statement was published on the website of the Belarusian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
She also notices the Belarusian MFA does not have information concerning a
desire of the EU to take a decision on returning their ambassadors to Minsk.
