“Tough pressure is being exerted on our embassies in a number of so-called rule-of-law states.
It comes to psychological and physical threats, the banner is insulted, while the local authorities prefer not to notice this or react with a delay.
So, today is the case - threats are coming up to the point of setting fire to the building, ”BelTA quotes the minister.
Makei also noted that the guard of the building of the Belarusian embassy in Vilnius said that they had received instructions from the political leadership of the state not to respond to security incidents.
Earlier, the Belarusian Foreign Ministry said that the Latvian ambassador was asked to leave Belarus within 24 hours.
In addition, a similar measure was applied to the entire diplomatic and administrative-technical staff of the embassy.
In response, the Latvian Foreign Ministry decided to expel Belarusian diplomats "until relations are normalized."
