“We are very concerned about the situation with Mrs. Kolesnikova.

We demand clarity regarding the location and release of all political prisoners in Belarus, ”the minister said.

He noted that the ongoing "detention and repression" is unacceptable.

In addition, Maas stressed that the Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko was repeatedly called upon to enter into a dialogue with all "national forces", but the opposite is happening.

“One wave of repression after another is descending on the opposition ready for dialogue.

This is the wrong direction, ”the Foreign Minister added.

According to him, if Lukashenka does not change course, "the EU will react."

Earlier, the headquarters of the unregistered presidential candidate of Belarus Viktor Babariko reported that the Belarusian police had accepted the statement of Kolesnikova's relatives about her disappearance.
