Myasnikovich: Belarus seeks to further improve relations with EU

MOGILEV, 4 November (BelTA) - Belarus looks forward to further normalization of relations with the European Union, Belarus Prime Minister Mikhail Myasnikovich said at a plenary session of the Belarusian-Lithuanian economic forum in Mogilev, BelTA has learned.

According to the head of government, the success of Belarusian-Lithuanian cooperation largely hinges upon the normalization of the Belarusian-European relations. Quite an active dialogue with the European Union is ongoing. There are already a number of positive decisions by Brussels. "We hope that the next step would be the lifting of the restrictions on the movement of capital, and this will be the logical decision. We discussed this issue during the Belarus-USA investment forum recently held in New York. There is an understanding that steps should be taken towards lifting all restrictions in the work with the Belarusian financial institutions and other organizations,” said Mikhail Myasnikovich.

You cannot build normal relations this way. "We view the future of the Belarusian-Lithuanian relations including through the improvement of ties with the united Europe," he said.
