Belarus, defying expectations, announced that Georgian and Moldovan wines would still be welcome in the country, after stringent laboratory tests found no problems of contamination. The tests were carried out following the Russian ban, ostensibly over health and safety concern, on Georgian and Moldovan wines. It was anticipated that Belarus would take the cue from Moscow and institute a ban of its own, but Minsk laboratories apparently operate with less exacting technology than those in Russia.
