U.S. diplomat comments on proposed Belarus-Russia union

MINSK. July 14 (Interfax) - U.S. Ambassador to Belarus George Krol said on Friday that the United States would not recognize a possible future referendum in Belarus on the country's proposed unification with Russia because, he argued, elections and referendums in Belarus were undemocratic.

Krol, who was talking to reporters in Minsk, said his country also felt concern over a possible Russian referendum on unification with Belarus.
