FM: Belarus is ready to discuss border situation, Poland has no interest in solving the issue

MINSK, 15 July (BelTA) - Belarus is ready to discuss the situation on the border, but Poland has no interest in solving the issue, Belarusian Minister of Foreign Affairs Maksim Ryzhenkov told the media on 15 July, BelTA has learned.

“The ball is on the Polish side. We are ready for dialogue, and the president is set on it. Apparently, Poland is not interested in solving this issue. And, probably, it is in its plans to continue escalating tensions on the border,” the minister said.

According to Maksim Ryzhenkov, the Polish authorities have been allocating a lot of funds to strengthen the country’s border. In his opinion, there is absolutely no need in fences, which even do not stop migrants.

“It is most likely that someone seeks to utilize such resources, to avoid constructive measures and solve issues by creating a new iron curtain. As our president says: when such huge amounts of money are allocated for unclear reasons, it is just a matter of time when another corruption scandal emerges,” the Belarusian minister of foreign affairs said.
