On Tuesday, Linde, together with his foreign minister colleagues in the Nordic and Baltic countries, summed up a sharp statement demanding that Belarus release the protesters who have been arrested. The same call also comes from the EU.
- I do not rule out that we will have to impose new sanctions, it is being discussed in the EU circle.
- It can be about targeted sanctions against people who were responsible for the election, and those who are responsible for the violence against the protesters, says Ann Linde in Aktuellt.
