The Lithuanian Interior Ministry said on Friday that it is terminating its cooperation agreement with the Interior Ministry of Belarus, APA reports citing the Twitter account of Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė.
Signed back in 1993, the agreement provided for cooperation in certain areas under the ministries’ responsibility.
However, its practical implementation has stopped in the wake of “unfair presidential elections” in Belarus in 2020, according to Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė.
“Lithuania sees no possibilities for cooperation with hostile regimes,” Bilotaitė said in a press release.
“Belarus, the Kremlin regime’s close ally that is continuing its hybrid attack against Lithuania and pushing illegal migrants into our country with the hands of its officials, cannot and will not be Lithuania’s partner either in internal affairs or in any other sphere,” she said.
