“In response to the actions of Belarus, the Latvian Foreign Ministry summoned the Charge d’Affaires of Belarus to inform about similar actions and the expulsion of Belarusian diplomats before the normalization of relations,” the statement says.
It should be noted that today the Belarusian Foreign Ministry announced to the Latvian ambassador about the forced departure of the diplomats of the Latvian embassy in Minsk from the country. In particular, he must leave Belarus within 24 hours, and the rest of the diplomats within 48 hours. At the same time, one administrative officer was allowed to stay at the embassy.
These actions were a reaction to the fact that today the Mayor of Riga Martins Stakis together with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia Edgar Rinkevich replaced the national flag of Belarus with a white-red-white one with “Pogonya”.
