Lukashenka speaks about Belarus' relations with U.S. and EU
The state leader didn’t mention political prisoners and the West’s demands to release them in his address for the first time.
According to Lukashenka, the USA and the EU do not block our country’s entrance to the WTO. According to the state leader, the U.S. agreed not to make this issue political.
“We may become the WTO member in the nearest future. Practically, we are already there,” Lukashenka said.
As for the Belarus-EU relations, he said "We have no choice, and there can’t be any: with Russia, or with the EU… We cannot exist without Russia, and Russia cannot throw Belarusians under its feet… It is counter-productive to demand that we should turn into an integral part of Russia ".
