Medvedev and Jagland to discuss Belarus

The Secretary-General of the Council of Europe (in the picture) will also conduct negotiations with Foreign Minister of Russia Sergei Lavrov, informs RIA “Novosti”.

BelaPAN reminds that Thorbjørn Jagland has condemned Alyaksandr Lukashenka’s recent refusal to pardon Uladzislau Kavalyou and Dzmitry Kavalenka sentenced to death for terrorism. “Belarus is the only European country where people can still be sentenced to death. The Belarusian authorities are isolating the country from the rest of the world more and more by their disrespect for human rights and democratic standards”.
