Hungary Recalls Ambassador To Belarus
- 29 Feb 2012 8:00 AM
"Hungary is ordering its ambassador to Belarus home for consultations, in concert with other EU states, the Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday evening. EU members are recalling their ambassadors from Minsk after the Belarus government asked the ambassadors of the EU and Poland to leave the country.
That was a response to the EU’s decision to extend its sanctions against the Belarus regime.
The EU foreign ministers on Tuesday approved more punitive measures such as a ban on travel and a freezing of the assets of 21 Belarus officials considered responsible for repressing domestic opposition."
