Banning the Belarusian parliamentary delegation from the OSCE PA session in Bucharest reflects “blatant bias and discrimination” amid aggravating foreign policy trends, the MPs stressed.
“Approaches that deprive full members of the opportunity to present their national positions undermine the international authority and foundations of the organization itself,” they said, refusing to recognize decisions that may be taken concerning Belarus.
