U.S. Embassy in Minsk stops issuing visas to Belarussians

MOSCOW, March 19 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Embassy in Minsk has suspended visa services for Belarussian nationals, the embassy said in a consular notice posted on its website on Wednesday.

"The U.S. government is in the process of reviewing the request made by the Belarussian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 17 that the U.S. Embassy in Minsk reduce its staffing. Therefore, visa processing has been temporarily suspended while our resources are engaged addressing other priorities," the RIA Novosti news agency quoted the notice as saying.

Further information would be provided "once the extent of the U.S. Embassy's ability to provide visa services in Belarus has been determined," the notice said.
