Belarus refuses visa for Lithuanian MP

By Arturas Racas

VILNIUS - The Belarusian foreign ministry has refused to issue a visa to Lithuanian member of parliament Emanuelis Zingeris, who had planned to take part in the 7th Congress of Belarus Democratic Forces, which took place in Minsk on May 26 - 27. "Belarusian president Aleksander Lukashenko, by refusing me a visa, has once again confirmed that he does not accept the ideas of freedom and civic society that are coming from Lithuania and Europe," Zingeris said in a May 25 statement.
