Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė stated that Lithuania will consider John Cole's proposal to hold a meeting with Belarus at the deputy minister level, however, there are several conditions for this, reports LRT.

At the same time, the head of the Lithuanian government emphasized that she did not discuss the transit of Belarusian fertilizers with the American envoy — there are no conditions for this, as European Union sanctions are currently in force.

"With the US envoy, we did not discuss the transit of fertilizers through Lithuania at any level. We talked about balloons, about the return of trucks, about illegal migration — we definitely talked about this, because these are our conditions for a meeting with Belarus at the deputy minister level," Prime Minister I. Ruginienė told LRT.lt.

According to the Prime Minister, Lithuania sets the following conditions for Belarus: firstly, balloons used for smuggling should not cross the border; secondly, all trucks must be returned without any additional fees or financial penalties; thirdly, Belarus must prevent illegal migrants from crossing the border.

"We are only talking about a technical meeting, intended for an exchange of positions. Such a meeting can take place after these conditions are met," said the Prime Minister.

I. Ruginienė emphasized that although the number of balloons crossing the border has slightly decreased, this also happened thanks to Lithuania's active fight against smuggling. Meanwhile, on Thursday evening, the operation of Vilnius Airport was again suspended for an hour.

Belarus also released some of the detained trucks into Lithuania, but at the same time demands that carriers pay for their parking on the sites.

"As for fertilizers, we cannot discuss anything, because European Union sanctions are currently in force," the Prime Minister stated.

    Ну во, дядя Сем поставил на место агентов Кремля. Интересно он пообещал Науседе поездку в Вашингтон в формате Мадуро?
