MINSK, 22 November (BelTA) – The effect from the EU’s Eastern Partnership initiative should be tangible for the ordinary public, Belarus’ Ambassador to Belgium with concurrent accreditation to Luxembourg Alexander Mikhnevich said in an interview to ONT TV channel, BelTA informs.

“The main topic we have been actively promoting is to have a tangible result from the Eastern Partnership for ordinary people. This includes visa facilitation, the abolition of roaming charges, the simplification of contacts, new management and communication technologies, and the solution of transport and border matters.
