Belarus recalls ambassador to Estonia

September 23, BPN. Belarus has recalled its ambassador to Estonia for consultations, the Belarusian foreign ministry has said.

The Estonian leadership’s recent actions were provocative towards Belarus’ independence, the ministry said.

It requested the Estonian government reduce diplomatic presence in Belarus to one consular officer and one administrator.

“Similarly, the Belarusian side will reduce its diplomatic presence in Estonia,” it said.

The ministry summoned the Estonian chargé d’affaires to make clear Belarus’ position.
