А. Glaz: "The border for us is a line of cooperation, not disagreement".

8 сентября 2021

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that "Belarus fulfills all its international obligations and acts transparently with respect to illegal migrants, unlike the European side, whose representatives introduce a state of emergency to hide their illegal actions from the public."

Anatoly Glaz, Head of the Department of Information and Digital Diplomacy, Spokesman for the Belarusian Foreign Ministry:

Today, the Belarusian Foreign Ministry held a working meeting with the EU Delegation to discuss the issues related to the situation at the border. We see it this way. In diplomacy, any demarche must have clear and convincing legal grounds, but not emotions, fantasies and assumptions. In this case, there are no grounds and there simply cannot be any. They are absent in the text of the statement of the EU Delegation. It is the Belarusian side that provides the necessary medical assistance to the refugees who are not willing to be accepted in violation of their international and national obligations by the neighbouring countries. We are ready to continue to follow this line.
