On Monday, on November 15, the European Union (EU) will tighten personal sanctions against Belarus, and will also consider sectoral restrictions. This was stated by the German Foreign Minister Haiko Maas, reports TASS.
Diplomat noted that the EU does not see alternatives to a tough position against Minsk, since the Belarusian side contributes to the exacerbation of the situation with migrants on the Polish-Belarusian border.
previously became known that the EU plans to impose sanctions against the National Airport of Minsk and the Minsk hotel because of the migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border. According to Financial Times, the sanction list will be finalized for several weeks, because the union coordinates its response with the allies.
Prior to this, the official representative of the EU foreign policy service, Peter stated that the new restriction against Minsk would affect all those involved in the “dirty, inhuman and illegal business” on the transportation of migrants to the Belarusian borders from the EU. In the union, they laid the blame for the current migration crisis on the regime of the Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko.
