Belarusian Ambassador to Slovakia Igor Leschenya has tendered resignation after supporting protesters in his country, APA reports citing Sputnik.

"I have truly filed resignation. This is a logical step since I was appointed to the post of an ambassador by the acting president and am expected to pursue a policy that he determines. The Foreign Ministry believes that my civic stand, which I expressed in my statement, is beyond that framework," Leschenya said, as quoted by the Belarusian news portal tut.by.

The Belarusian Foreign Ministry said that no decree on Leschenya's dismissal had been issued so far.
