Ryzhenkov: Poland Demonstrates Normal Pragmatism to Lithuania

Poland demonstrated normal pragmatism to Lithuania. This is how the Belarusian Foreign Minister commented on the neighbors' actions in an interview on the First Information TV channel.

Maxim Ryzhenkov, Belarusian Foreign Minister:

"It's good that they demonstrated such consistency in their ideas. But it's very important when politicians listen to the opinions of people and translate their promises into actions. Furthermore, the start of movement through the checkpoints is very important for, as we believe, the restoration of normal relations between the countries. Because relationships between ordinary people and between businesses always come first. Politicians follow suit. Therefore, it's very good that the overall atmosphere, the background, is quite positive. I saw a report filmed at the border today; people are very happy. In fact, this should have been done long ago."

According to him, Poland demonstrated tough, normal pragmatism to Lithuania.
