“Belarus does not conduct any significant military activities that require prior notification, and does not consider it justified to use the Vienna Document mechanism ... We are disappointed that our respected Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian colleagues have chosen this path of action, which leads us nowhere” , the office said.
The delegates urged not to consider the participation of Minsk in this meeting as support for the introduction of a consultation and cooperation mechanism against Belarus to discuss unusual military activities in accordance with paragraph 2 of Art.
16 chapter III of the Vienna Document.
Earlier, on February 13, OSCE chairmanship Poland noted that the Baltic states had requested a meeting with Belarus and other countries in connection with "unusual military activity."
The Belarusian embassy in Vienna reported that the republic would participate at the expert level in the OSCE meeting requested by the Baltic countries.
