Among them are the authoritarian Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko and his associates.
“On Monday, the Migration Department of the Interior Ministry entered the data of these Belarusians in the national list of foreigners banned from entering the Republic of Lithuania,” the report issued by the Interior Ministry said on Monday.
It is also observed that “last Thursday the Ministry of Foreign Affairs presented the final list of said order from the Minister of the Interior.”
“Upon receipt of additional submissions, the list can be supplemented,” says the Interior Ministry.
President Gitanas Nausėda said on Monday that the list had been agreed with Latvia and Estonia, but that it was only an “initial version of the list” and would be completed in the future.
Last Wednesday, the Foreign Ministry announced that it had proposed to include 118 Belarusian officials on the “black list” of the Interior Ministry.
The sanctions list is approved by the Ministry of the Interior at the proposal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Belarusian officials included in the approved list are now banned from entering Lithuania.
The restrictive measures against Belarus were imposed for the first time in 2004 due to the disappearance of four people. In 2011, the European Union issued additional sanctions against those who carried out the crackdown.
