“If you know the system of European sanctions, then they are usually introduced in the form of listing persons or firms, which implies a ban on entry, provision of services or the supply of goods, freezing of accounts,” RIA Novosti quotes Burger.
He noted that there is a mechanism for identifying those involved in the transfer of migrants.
According to the German diplomat, there are firms in the exodus region that sell travel packages in one direction for certain groups of the population, and the authorities are identifying such corporations.
The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, previously called the behavior of Belarus in the situation with migrants "a hybrid attack".
Angela Merkel said that the leaders of the EU countries intend to discuss economic sanctions against Belarus due to the situation with migrants.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova called the statement of the German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer that the key in resolving the migration crisis on the border of Belarus and the EU countries lies in Moscow as "complete absurd".
She noted that the keys to the problem lie in Western capitals, including Washington and Brussels.
