Poland will expel the Consul General of Belarus in Bialystok and the Consul in Warsaw from the country. This was stated by Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Przydach in Twitter .
He explained that the decision to expel the Belarusian diplomats was dictated by the “continuing unfriendly gestures” of Minsk and similar actions of the Belarusian authorities.
On March 9, the Belarusian Foreign Ministry called on the Polish consul in Brest Jerzy Timofeyuk to leave the country. The ministry said that participation in the event dedicated to the Day of the Damned Soldiers, the Polish diplomat grossly violated the norms of international law. In particular, the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. Poland promised to “immediately and adequately” respond to the expulsion of their consul.
