Latvia refused to cooperate with the Investigation Committee of Belarus in the investigation of the incident with the replacement of our country's national flag. Earlier, two requests were sent to summon Riga mayor Martins Stakis and Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics for questioning in connection with the criminal case against them. In May, they removed the national flag of Belarus from the installation with the flags of the countries participating in the World Hockey Championship and replaced it with the white-red-white symbol. According to the Investigation Committee, criminal proceedings were initiated under the article: inciting ethnic hatred on the basis of nationality. Riga answered to the request of the Belarusian investigators that it couldn't comply with the request. The Investigation Committee considers Latvia's response as a de facto refusal to cooperate.
