German MFA withdraws its Ambassador from Minsk
German Minister for Foreign Affairs Guido Westerwelle has said this on February 28 in Brussels.
According to the information provided by BelaPAN, Guido Westerwelle has noted as he reacted to the statement of the Belarusian MFA: "This is a step against Poland, against the European Union, equal to a step against us, the Germans".
"Europeans cannot tolerate such violation in Belarus, which is the last dictatorship in Europe", Bloomberg quotes Mr. Westerwelle. According to the news agency dpa, the German Minister has expressed "indignation" with the decision of the Belarusian authorities.
In the opinion of the head of the German MFA, it is time for all other countries of the European Union to withdraw their representatives for consultations. A series of the EU countries are considering the possibility of such measure.
