Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affaires denounces Belarusian authorities for banishment of US diplomats

Estonia is worried about the decision of the Belarusian authorities to banish 10 US diplomats working in the Embassy to Minsk. The announcement was made by the Estonian Minister of Foreign Affaires Urmas Paet. He thinks that the explanation of the official Minsk concerning the equalization of the staff of the Belarusian and American Embassies is unfounded.

The Minister claimed solidarity with the USA and its diplomats. He suggested that Belarus should cancel its “short-sighted” decision. The head of the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is sure that the European Union will elaborate its attitude to the problem soon.
