According to the upper house of the Belarusian parliament, the Council of the Republic, Lithuania is trying to interfere in the internal affairs of Belarus.
“By approving this document, Lithuanian parliamentarians are seriously interfering in the internal affairs of the Republic of Belarus and expressing open contempt for the sovereign right of the Belarusian nation to independently elect power and determine the path of development of their country. .
The attempt by the Lithuanian parliamentarians to appoint a “leader of the Belarusian nation” goes beyond common sense, “states the comment of the Presidium of the Council of the Republic.
Belarusian parliamentarians believe that such actions by the Lithuanian Seimas are “provocative and unacceptable” and allegedly violate the rules of international law, cross-border communication and parliamentary practice.
“There is a particular dissatisfaction with calls for sanctions to be imposed on the Belarusian authorities in order to change the internal and external policies of the Republic of Belarus,” the Belarusian MPs said.
According to them, positive relations between Belarus and Lithuania are possible “only on the basis of mutual respect, constructive cooperation and non-interference in internal affairs.”
ELTA recalls that last week the Seimas approved another resolution expressing concern about the situation in Belarus. The resolution was adopted unanimously with 91 votes in favor.
In a resolution on the illegal and imposed Russian union in Belarus, the parliamentarians called on the Russian authorities not to interfere in the internal and external policies of Belarus. The members of the Seimas are proposing to the international community that the possible agreements of the presumed president of Belarus Aliaksandr Lukashenko with Russia on a deeper integration of the countries be considered a crime against their nation and the annexation of the state.
This is the second resolution adopted at the initiative of the Lithuanian Seimas in response to the events in Belarus after the rigged presidential elections. At the extraordinary session of the Seimas on August 18. The Seimas passed a resolution declaring Lukashenko an illegitimate leader. At that time, the resolution was supported by 122 parliamentarians, 2 members of the Seimas abstained.
