European commissioner: Belarusian authorities should conduct more political reforms
Belarus has to conduct more political reforms so that the European Union would agree to closer relations. The Commissioner responsible for External Relations and European Neighbourhood Policy Benita Ferrero-Waldner has claimed it.
She stressed that Belarus had “a chance of getting closer to the European Union”, in particular, to joining the EU programme “Eastern partnership”. Benita Ferrero-Waldner described the current situation in Belarus as “two steps forward and one step back”.
