Минск рассчитывает на новый цикл потепления в белорусско-европейских отношениях

Глава МИД Беларуси В. Макей на минувшей неделе в Вильнюсе дал интервью информационному агентству BNS, обозначив сходство позиций официального Минска и ЕС в отношении целостности Украины.

Во время эскалации конфликта в Крыму министр иностранных дел Беларуси посетил с официальным визитом прибалтийские государства – Литву и Латвию, которые в наибольшей степени опасаются роста геополитических амбиций Кремля. Официальный Минск рассчитывает на помощь Вильнюса и Риги в лоббировании своих интересов в Брюсселе, проводя параллели с начавшимся после российско-грузинской войны 2008 года процессом потепления белорусско-европейских отношений. Однако белорусские власти в отличие от предыдущего цикла не готовы идти даже на «урезанную» либерализацию режима.
