Tusk and Obama agree on cooperation with regard to "Belarus issue"
Belarusian issue was raised at the meeting of U.S. President Barack Obama and Polish PM Donald Tusk in Warsaw.
"We agreed that we have to apply as much pressure as we can on Belarus to change its practices. And that's going to require close coordination between the United States and Poland, but also between the United States and all of Europe. And I think Poland is uniquely situated during its EU presidency to be able to show extraordinary leadership on this issue ", — Obama said at a press-conference after the meeting.
Tusk noted that that his vision of the Belarusian issue coincided with Barack Obama's views by 100%: "“There is no future for such dictatorships as the one which is represented today by Lukashenko in Belarus".
The Prime Minister assured that both the U.S. and Poland will look for "the conduct for the international community so that the Belarusian people do not have to pay too high a price and for too long a period". Speaking about Andrzej Poczobut, Tusk said that both Komorowski and himself had informed Obama about "Polish problem in this issue". Obama said he knew about Poczobut's case.
