Alyaksandr Lukashenka is addressing the Belarusian people and the National Assembly today. Speaking about the relations of Belarus with the EU and the USA, Lukashenka mentioned the EU summit in Prague and drew the attention of the present diplomats to the fact.
"Europeans sometimes overestimate the importance of “Eastern Partnership”. Even minute details are important: Whether Lukashenka goes to Prague or not and how to make him refuse…
If it is embarrassing to have a Belarusian representative there, do not invite us, we will endure it… If you would like to invite us but do not want to see Lukashenka there, tell please… But we do not need any boorishness!”
Lukashenka also recalled the words of the Czech President who claimed the he would not shake hands with Lukashenka. “I will think before offering my hand to him”, said the Belarusian leader.
