Lukashenko calls Europe to be "realistic" about Belarus
Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko called upon the European Union today to lead realistic policy toward Belarus and to embrace the facts.
"If Europeans get realistic, there is hope of improving the relations with Belarus. As far as the economy is concerned, I don't think it depends on the politics", said Lukashenko in his first response to EU's decision to ban him and his aides from traveling on the Union's territory.
Lukashenko also said that nobody wants to see Belarus as a "hotspot in the middle of Europe".
"It is hot in the center of Europe, too. In Paris, London, Germany and other countries, problems burst out in no time. The one who seeks to attain glory upon this, will only get a putrid glory", Lukashenko said.
