EU shuts Belarus out of Eastern Partnership

The European Union has suspended Belarus' participation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Eastern Partnership Program for persecuting the opposition in the wake of the presidential elections in December.

European Parliament speakers are to meet in Brussels in March along with representatives of the legislative assemblies of the other Eastern Partnership members which include Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova.

The EU's Eastern Partnership Program is targeted at political and economic rapprochement with six post-Soviet republics.
