The Belarusian Foreign Ministry declared the Latvian ambassador and the staff of the diplomatic mission personas non grata. The reason for this was the abuse of the national flag of our country, committed by the mayor of Riga. Latvian Foreign Minister watched the scandalous behavior of the mayor with a smile.
The head of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry considers such behavior unacceptable.
Vladimir Makei, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus: This is a violation of all norms, an actual act of state vandalism. We consider unacceptable such actions against a sovereign state, against a sovereign nation. And this happened despite the fact that all of them call themselves ardent defenders and advocates of the Belarusian sovereignty, when in fact they are provocateurs, aimed at the destruction of our sovereignty and statehood!
