Minsk, November 12 (Xinhua) – Belarus fully supports the speedy restoration of the normal functioning of the Belarusian-Lithuanian state border. This was stated by Belarusian Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov on Wednesday.
He noted that the President of Belarus has already issued relevant instructions to expedite the process of restoring relations with the Lithuanian side regarding the functioning of the state border.
"Belarus fully supports the speedy restoration of the normal functioning of the Belarusian-Lithuanian state border, with the operation of all checkpoints stipulated by the legal framework, and the restoration of cooperation between the relevant services ensuring the functioning of the border," stated M. Ryzhenkov.
He also noted that since the situation on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border has gone beyond the authority of the border services of the two countries, it was decided that the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs will handle further negotiations with the Lithuanian side.
"The next steps should include a comprehensive set of political and diplomatic decisions aimed, as the Belarusian side believes, at promptly resolving the situation and restoring normal border operations in the interests of citizens of both countries. Corresponding proposals have been submitted to the Lithuanian side through authorized border authorities, and we expect a response," the head of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry stated.
He also added that the Belarusian side is ready for negotiations at any time, on any territory, without any preconditions. –0–
