Swedish authorities urge their citizens to be careful in Belarus
The diplomatic conflict with Minsk forces Swedish MFA to call on Swedish citizens in Belarus to be careful.
According to the information provided by "Belarusian
Partisan",
Swedish Foreign Ministry does not have information about any incidents
happening to the Swedish citizens in Belarus, but the Embassy in Minsk
considers that "there is a necessity to watch out".
"About 10 citizens of Sweden live in Belarus, and approximately 3,5
thousand visas to visit the country are issued annually to the Swedes", —
informs the Swedish MFA.
Let us remind you, the diplomatic scandal started after the incident when the
Swedish light-motor plane threw about 800 teddy bears holding leaflets for
freedom of speech over Minsk area on July 4. The Belarusian authorities did not
renew the accreditation for the Swedish Ambassador and suggested to liquidate
the Embassy by August 30.
