  • Poland and Lithuania recalled 35 diplomats from the former Soviet republic of Belarus on Friday, as part of a growing diplomatic row over their support for the protest movement in Belarus. Along with several other European Union member states, Poland has already recalled its ambassador and its move to pull out more staff follows a request from Belarusian authorities. "Limiting Polish personnel is an unfriendly gesture to which Poland will respond in a timely and appropriate form," Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Przydacz told PAP news agency, announcing that Poland was pulling out 30 diplomatic staff. Lithuania, which like Poland is an EU member that borders Belarus and has taken a strong stance against Belarus strongman Alexander Lukashenko, said it was recalling five diplomats. Foreign ministry spokeswoman Rasa Jakilaitiene said Lithuania hoped that the recall move would "preserve chances for dialogue" but warned that "we will take reciprocal actions if Belarus further escalates the situation". The EU has refused to recognise Lukashenko's disputed victory in an August 9 election and has approved sanctions against top officials seen as responsible for a violent crackdown against protests following the polls. But Lukashenko, who has been in power for 26 years, has ruled out new elections for now and is backed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Lithuania has further angered Lukashenko by giving shelter to 38-year-old Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, a political novice who ran against him and claims victory in the election. dt-vab/mas/mbx
