U.S. Embassy In Minsk Suspends Visa Issue Again

The U.S. Embassy in Minsk has once again suspended the acceptance of visa applications from Belarusian citizens, Belapan reported on April 4. In a statement posted on its website (http://minsk.usembassy.gov), the embassy links the new suspension of visa services to the Belarusian government's demand for a further reduction of the diplomatic mission's staff. "As you are aware, only last week, our embassy reduced the number of American staff by half. We consider these [new] demands by the Belarusian government to be unwarranted and unjustified," the statement says. The embassy suspended its visa services on March 19 and resumed them on April 1 (see "RFE/RL Newsline," April 1, 2008). JM
