Belarus recalls UK ambassador, accusing London of “unfriendly steps"

This was stated by the press secretary of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Anatoly Glaz, BElTA reports.

"The introduction of sanctions against the employees of enterprises, the Belarusian economy and the financial system, restrictions on the work of the Belarusian mass media, the groundless ban on Belavia flights, the failure to issue visas to Belarusian parliamentarians for the meetings of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, as well as other illegal restrictive measures at this stage do not allow for a full-fledged dialogue", Glaz said.

At the same time, according to him, a decrease in the level of diplomatic relations does not mean the end of communication with London.
