Belarus Tells US To Reduce Embassy Staff

MOSCOW (AFP)--Belarus has asked the U.S. to further reduce its embassy staff, the foreign ministry said Monday, just over a week after the U.S. ambassador was told to leave the ex-Soviet state.

"The attention of the representative of the U.S. was again drawn to the strong recommendation of the Belarussian side for the reduction of the number of staff at the embassy in Minsk," said the ministry in a statement.
