EU Council of Ministers most likely to take decision on Belarus on October 25

Press-center of EU Council: "October session of the Council on Foreign Affairs will take place on October 25 in Luxembourg". However, the press-center does not confirm yet whether the issue of visa sanctions against Aliaksandr Lukashenka and Belarusian officials is included in the agenda of this session.

Let us remind you, in 2009 the decision of EU Council resolved "to prolong restrictive measures till October 2010... In the end of this period the Council will reconsider the issue basing on the situation in Belarus". According to the popular on-line newspaper EUobserver with a reference to conversations of the European officials, the EU Council is most likely to prolong and at the same time suspend the sanctions again.
