Lithuania Expresses Readiness to Negotiate with Belarus

Vilnius has finally announced its readiness to negotiate with Minsk, but in a special format. According to Lithuanian media reports, citing the statement by the Baltic republic's Foreign Minister, the discussions will be held at the level of ambassadors-at-large.

Until now, Vilnius has refrained from engaging with Minsk at the political level, believing that all contentious issues can be resolved at the so-called "technical" level of agencies, such as border services.
