Polish politician calls on EU member states to recall ambassadors

Mr Schetyna who chairs the Polish parliament's foreign affairs committee has described the move of Belarus authorities as “an alarming signal that has once again demonstrated Lukashenka's attitude towards the European Union”.

He also stressed that Minsk's actions are “the reflection and acknowledgment of Poland's significant role”, since only the Polish ambassador and the EU envoy were told to leave the country. "Only united and successful actions will be effective", Grzegorz Schetyna is quoted by the Polish news agency  PAP.
