Lithuania to exchange legal information with Belarus “carefully”
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Audronius Ažubalis is against the cancellation of the agreement on legal assistance signed with Belarus.
Information agencies refer to him and inform that such cooperation is needed to struggle with criminals and for assistance in such issues as wedlock, divorce and inheritance. At the same time Ažubalis stressed that the decision whether the agreement should be kept or not would be made by the government.
Let us remind you that the scandal in Lithuania started after officials of the Ministry of Justice had presented banking information about a Belarusian human rights defender to Belarus.
According to Ažubalis, Lithuanian institutions have reached an agreement that will not allow foreign countries to abuse Lithuanian legal assistance.
