Lithuania suggested close the air space of the European Union (EU) for flying in Minsk airlines. Such a way to take revenge in Belarus for the aggravation of the migration crisis at the boundaries of Western countries found the Foreign Minister Gabrielus Landsbergis, whose words are given on the Ministry website.
According to him, the Belarusian authorities continue to perform hybrid attacks on the EU countries, so it is important to agree on effective ways to respond to the actions of the regime of the President of Alexander Lukashenko. The closure of the sky for commercial flights from Minsk, emphasized the diplomat, will be an important step towards solving the problem with illegal.
“We build a wall on the border with Belorussia for 150 million euros and subsidize the business of these airlines that earn the delivery of migrants to Minsk. We spend the money of taxpayers to stop migrants,” Landsberg found his offer. He also called on to strengthen the legal framework and protect the external borders of the EU.
October 18, German Foreign Minister Haiko Maas said that the EU continues to discuss the migration crisis in the Belarusian border, and threatened the introduction of “very sensitive” sanctions against Lukashenko regime.
MAAS indicated that the EU will continue to fight the airlines that participate in the transportation of refugees to the borders of European countries. According to the agency, the EU is considering the introduction of sanctions against travel companies, as well as the imposition of full sanctions to the National Belarusian airline “Belavia”.
