Welt: EU will not include Lukashenko in the sanctions list
The elected president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, will not be included in the sanctions list of the European Union, Die Welt said on Friday with reference to informed sources. On such a decision, France, Italy and especially Germany insisted. Berlin, Paris and Rome said that, "despite all the circumstances, the channels of communication with Lukashenko must be kept open," because, in their opinion, his inclusion in the black list will mean a complete termination of the dialogue with Minsk.
