Donald Tusk is also the leader of the European Parliament’s largest group, the European People’s Party.
Threats to Lukashenko
The President of Belarus has threatened that his country will respond to any new European sanctions related to the migrant crisis on the border between Belarus and Poland, the responsibility for which Brussels attributes to Minsk.
“If new sanctions are imposed on us (…), we must respond,” Lukashenko was quoted as saying by Belarus-based news agency Belta. for Europeans.
“Europe is warming up and they are still threatening to close our borders. What if we shut down the flow of gas? “Therefore, I would recommend the Polish leadership, Lithuanians and other brainless people to think before they speak,” Lukashenko said.
