According to him, “Europe spoke with one voice and showed solidarity with Belarus.”
Mr Latuška was also surprised by the statement by the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs “accusing the EU of not wanting to enter into a dialogue”.
“It was the Coordinating Council, supported by international institutions, who repeatedly suggested finding a way out of the political crisis through dialogue,” he recalled.
For the second month in a row, protests are taking place in Belarus against the results of the presidential elections on August 9. Its winner was Lukashenko, who has ruled the country since 1994. The opposition and Western countries consider these elections to be rigged.
Lukashenko held a secret inauguration last week, but several countries have declared him unrecognizable as the legitimate president of Belarus.
