Lukashenko: EU’s decision absolutely satisfies us

MINSK, 16 February (BelTA) – Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko commented on the recent decision of the European Union to abolish the majority of sanctions in relation to the Belarusian side at the session held on 16 February to discuss measures meant to improve the effectiveness of the social and economic complex, BelTA has learned.
