Russian Ambassador assessed Western statements on Lukashenko's inauguration

“There is the Vienna Convention, but there is also what is called“ at your fingertips ”.

Behave so as not to step over a certain line, so as not to interfere in the internal affairs of an independent and sovereign state, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

According to the Russian ambassador, the statements of a number of European countries have become an example of "unfair attitude, violation of the practice of partnership and unconditional interference in the internal affairs of the country."

“This is ... an attempt to give those assessments that a sovereign state does not deserve,” he said.

Mezentsev also urged his colleagues to "act more carefully and calmly."

Earlier Lukashenka responded to accusations of a number of countries in a "secret" inauguration.

On Wednesday, September 23, Lukashenko took office as President of Belarus.

The inauguration ceremony took place at the Palace of Independence in Minsk.

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said that Lukashenka's inauguration "does not have sufficient democratic legitimacy."
