BERLIN - on Wednesday. “Europe must quickly agree on a list of sanctions. And from my point of view, it should include Lukashenko, the head of this system,” Manfred Weber, a senior German conservative and head of the centre-right European People’s Party in the EU Parliament, told German public broadcaster ZDF.
