Belarus in favor of reformatted European Partnership Initiative

MINSK, 17 April (BelTA) – Belarus is in favor of reformatting the Eastern Partnership (EaP) in the future, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said as he met with European Commissioner for European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn on 17 April, BelTA has learned.

It would be good to refocus the EaP from politics (probably, this stage is already behind us) to closer concrete cooperation in economy, the Belarusian head of state said.
