"The so-called inauguration on September 23rd and the new mandate adopted by Alexander Lukashenko do not have sufficient democratic legitimacy," Borrell was quoted as saying by TASS.
Earlier, the official representative of the Cabinet of Ministers of Germany, Steffen Seibert, commented on the inauguration ceremony of Alexander Lukashenko.
He stated that "this ceremony was prepared in secret and held without the participation of the public, this is already significant."
