January 5, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Belarus and Sweden have recalled their envoys for consultations, Radyjo Svaboda<\/em> reported<\/a>, quoting the Nordic country’s foreign ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eva Sundquist has served as charg\u00e9 d’affaires in Minsk since September 2022. The Swedish embassy in Minsk continues operation as usual, while the Belarusian ambassador left Stockholm, the Swedish foreign ministry said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka appointed D\u017amitryj Miron\u010dyk as ambassador to Sweden in May 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On November 6, Stockholm named a special envoy for relations with Belarus’ pro-democracy forces. On the same day, Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstr\u00f6m said the country recognized \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja as the winner in the 2020 presidential election in Belarus. That statement prompted Minsk to recall its ambassador for consultations, RFE\/RL<\/em> Belarus Service said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A European Union member, Sweden supports Europe’s sanctions against Belarus. On the Day of Solidarity with Belarusian Political Prisoners, the Swedish foreign ministry voiced support for “all those persecuted by the \u0141uka\u0161enka regime for political reasons.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, on April 10, Warsaw’s envoy to the EU said that work on new EU sanctions against Belarus was not progressing because of the fertilizers issue and the “passivity” of Sweden. “The Swedes virtually do nothing about it,” Andrzej Sado\u015b said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We were very disappointed about a lack of ambition in terms of sanctions against Belarus, so needed because of reprisals against the opposition in that country, its participation in the war on the Russian side, as well as its plans to host nuclear weapons,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweden was one of the first countries to recognize the independence of Belarus. The two countries established diplomatic relations in January 1992.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
