Lithuanian Ambassador Gives No Comment on Entry Ban for Belarusian Anti-Nuclear Activists

Linas Linkevicius, the Lithuanian ambassador to Belarus, declined on Friday to comment on an entry ban imposed on two prominent Belarusian campaigners against nuclear power projects.

Tacciana Novikava and Mikalaj Ulasievich were turned away at the Lithuanian border late on September 26 while they were traveling to Vilnius to attend a conference on nuclear power. Lithuanian border guards referred to the foreign ministry`s order that said that the pair “threaten the security of one or more European Union countries and the national security of the Republic of Lithuania.”

“We don`t comment on visa matters and similar matters in general. Unfortunately, I have nothing to add on the subject,” the ambassador told reporters during a conference in the Lithuanian city of Kaunas.

Earlier this week, the Lithuanian foreign ministry also refused to comment on the matter.

Experts link the Lithuanian foreign ministry`s decision to the activists` opposition to the possible construction of a new nuclear power plant in the Baltic country. It came shortly before Lithuania is to hold a referendum on the project.
