“I don’t think it’s a good topic for the North Atlantic Alliance,” Blasczak told Polish public radio.
“I think that what is happening in Belarus is first and foremost a question of neighbor support.
In this case, there is a joint initiative of the presidents of Poland and Lithuania – President Andrzej Duda and President Gitan Nauseda – the willingness to mediate in the negotiations, expressed by the presidents of both countries, he explained. “There is also an initiative led by the Polish prime minister to the European Union to hold a meeting of the EU Council to discuss the situation in Belarus.”
When asked if Warsaw would discuss the events in Belarus and possible Russian influence in Minsk with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who would visit Poland in the coming days, the minister said: “It is clear that the whole free world wants to Belarus to be respected by the authorities. However, we know that Belarus has an alliance with Russia. The situation is clearly not easy. “
“It is clear that the people of Belarus are awakening and that these tendencies of freedom must be supported, just as the tendencies of Polish freedom were supported 31 years ago,” emphasized Blaszczak, referring to the collapse of the Polish communist regime.
“The free world has always done it, and rightly so. However, the methods of operation must definitely be peaceful. This requires that the Belarusian authorities do not use force against people protesting the elections, that they respect the principles.
No one will solve this problem for Belarusians. This is a Belarusian issue. Therefore, we definitely support citizens’ attitudes and freedom provisions, but it is the Belarusians who will decide on their future, ”added the minister.
