The European Union is set to freeze the assets of Alexander Lukashenko, president of Belarus, and more than 30 senior officials in a response to Belarus''s flawed presidential elections in March and the subsequent jailing of Alexander Milinkevich, the main opposition candidate, Financial Times reported. The move, likely to be made in coming days, follows a decision by EU ministers in April to impose a visa ban on Mr Lukashenko and 30 officials.
