Reuters: Germany, Czech Republic, Estonia, and Latvia o recall their ambassadors from Minsk

Germany, the Czech Republic, Estonia, and Latvia are to recall their ambassadors from Minsk, the Reuters news agency reported citing sources from the Lithuanian foreign ministry.

The moves come in solidarity with fellow EU states Lithuania and Poland, whose embassies in Minsk were all-but shut down by the regime, which accused them of meddling in its internal affairs.

The EU recently blacklisted 40 Belarusian officials amid a brutal police crackdown following election rigging.

The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not yet officially commented on the news.
