“We have preconditions. Not even for dialogue, but generally a precondition is stopping the flow of migrants,” G. Landsbergis told reporters at Seimas.
The Belarusian dictator announced on Monday that he would probably not run in the next presidential election, but Landsberg doubts that he is sincere.
“If this is what the Belarusian opposition is talking about: withdrawing and holding new and internationally recognized elections, then it is understandable. But if it is a sham withdrawal, by establishing a council and becoming the chairman of that council under the control of the state, it is not a withdrawal, a withdrawal, it is simply a transfer of officials.
And here the position of both Lithuania and the European Union must be clear: as long as Lukashenko is in power, we will not recognize him, ”said the Foreign Minister.
Do you want to resume the dialogue?
Minsk is ready to resume dialogue with Vilnius, but without preconditions, Belarus’ authoritarian President Aliaksandr Lukashenko said on Monday.
“If you want, let’s start the dialogue at some level, but without preconditions. Belarus did not deserve such a conversation,” Lukashenko said in a meeting with the media and the public.
Speaking about Western calls for the release of political prisoners, Lukashenko said: “We don’t have such an article. On what basis do you draw those conclusions? It would be different if journalists were to blame, but politicians are talking about it.” .
The authoritarian president also claimed that “he has never taken hostile steps towards Lithuania.”
Earlier, Lukashenko claimed that Minsk was not blackmailed by illegal migration and was only reacting to the situation.
“Illegal migration … We don’t blackmail anything, we don’t threaten anyone. You create the conditions for us to react and we react. Forgive us as we can and we pay … We respond according to our capabilities, ”he said.
