“Unfortunately, opportunities for dialogue between the regime and civil society are shrinking daily. Lithuania, like other EU countries, claims that the regime does not heed the warnings and calls made, so the third EU sanctions package becomes inevitable, “the president’s adviser said in a comment to BNS.
A. Skaisgirytė notes that EU sanctions are effective because they are valid throughout the Union, including not only bans on entering EU countries, but also the freezing of assets in the EU.
“Lithuania actively supports future EU decisions on the activation of the third package of sanctions, which is expected at the EU Foreign Affairs Council this week. The United States, the United Kingdom and Canada are following the EU’s example to expand their national sanctions, “said the president’s adviser.
“The situation in Belarus is constantly deteriorating, the number of detained protesters is increasing, they are being prosecuted and sentenced to prison. Meanwhile, officials in the force structures evade responsibility for the violence used. One of the latest examples that caused great outrage in Belarusian society was the death of the protester R. Bandarenko, ”says A. Skaigirytė about the situation in the neighboring country.
Recently, there has been great outrage in Belarus for Raman Bandarenka, a 31-year-old former soldier, who died of a brain injury in custody. Opposition officials say Aliaxandr Lukashenko’s loyal security forces are to blame for the man’s death.
