Swedish Embassy works in normal regime
It has become known on Wednesday that Belarus withdraws its Embassy in Sweden and suggests that Sweden should do the same by August 30.
A representative of the Swedish diplomatic
mission in Belarus has informed to RIA Novosti, that he and his colleagues found
everything out from the Belarusian MFA's notice today. "We are working in
the normal regime so far", - he says.
According
to the employee of the Swedish Embassy, they still issue visas and work with
the visitors. He has noted that after all the employees of the Swedish Embassy
leave Belarus, the Belarusian citizens would have to get visas in other
countries, for example, in Russia.
Let
us remind you, it became known last week that the Belarusian authorities had
not renewed the accreditation of Swedish Ambassador to our country Stefan
Eriksson. A real diplomatic war started between Minsk and Stockholm. The
Belarusian MFA claims that this doesn't mean breaking of diplomatic
relations.
