File photoMINSK, September 8The Belarusian Foreign Ministry summoned the EU Charge d'Affaires Evelina Schultz, who illegally tried to break into the court session, warned her about the consequences of such provocations, Foreign Ministry spokesman Anatoly Glaz said.Minsk court On September 6, he passed a sentence for 10 anarchists who were accused of riots and extremism, they received from 5 to 17 years in prison. Schultz tried to break into this meeting, as a result of which she was delayed for some time.The Belarusian Foreign Ministry commented on the calls of the deputy of the Rada to hang Lukashenka «Today, the EU charge d'affaires in Belarus was summoned to the Foreign Ministry, who was warned for the last time about the possible consequences of such provocations and informed about the application by the Belarusian side of additional response measures to the EU Delegation,» Glaz told the Belta state agency , commenting on the situation with a European diplomat. According to him, Schultz's actions discredit the very concept of diplomacy, since diplomats «are obliged not to interfere in the internal affairs of the host state» and conduct all official business with «the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or through this ministry.» In July 2021, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs already sent a note to the EU Delegation and a number of embassies, in which it outlined the procedure for these diplomats to visit Belarusian state agencies. «We were forced to do this in response to unfriendly actions against our country and the restrictions imposed on our diplomats. As a result we see conscious attempts by some to grossly violate all this. And this is not the first time. How should one treat this? This is fanfare and a completely obvious, deliberate provocation,» Glaz noted. The Foreign Ministry believes that in this way some European diplomats are trying to provoke a scandal and make a name for yourself on this, so as not to be transferred to service in more exotic and hot regions.
