Hihin: The EU possesses the ball now
The Editor-in-Chief of the maganize "Belaruskaya Dumka" commented upon expansion of EU's sanctions against Belarus.
Vadzim Hihin thinks that the Belarusian authorities should not go for considerable concessions to the EU especially in the conditions when there is "strong support of the allies" (he means Russia and Kazakhstan). "There have already been many concessions", - Hihin says. In his opinion, Brussels should understand that Belarus is not going to change its policy and will not go to the West. Therefore, the EU should admit its Eastern policy a failure and give up pressure.
The Editor-in-Chief of the magazine "Belaruskaya Dumka" underlines that when the EU imposes sanctions on Belarusian enterprises, ordinary citizens who work there suffer. However, the consequences for the people will be minimized due to the efforts made by the state leader and the government, who held negotiations in Moscow, Vadzim Hihin says.
