The EU needs to encourage democracy and counter Russia’s influence in Belarus, Linkevicius said in the interview, adding that the bloc should provide “concrete help” to Belarus’ opposition. “When we will not stand true on our national commitments, it will shatter our own foundation”, he said. “Belarusian people should not feel deserted.”

Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya called on the United Nations on Friday to condemn the crackdown by Lukashenko on protesters who charge he rigged his re-election victory last month.

EU is scarce of Russia now strong enough comparing past USSR.

If a quarter of that happened in Africa, Britain and France would have invited the whole World. They they chose to be dumb and blind over Belarus. Greedy opportunists

L'UE va perdre la credibilitat en el moment que va permetre la repressió contra els catalans

The EU can read tea leaves. Perhaps it’s time someone should pass this ability on to the Lithuanians...

There is a peaceful way out. It involves another election with internationally accredited vote monitoring, and forgiveness.

What’s left of it.

Lithuania is damn right. Where the hell are the EU leaders EU is becoming shitty anyway since we left.

EU’s foreign policy credibility has already been undermined due to inaction in Turkey’s provocations.

What foreign policy credibility of the EU? It lost it in the Balkans arround 2011. Still not found...

Germany is constipated they dont know what to do They are more worried about offending Putin

Lately EU's foreign policy has been very weak. Russia has done annexation to part of Georgia and nothing is being done.

Welcome to the Club Sir..But you forgot that the EU has tolerated for years a Country of lesser importance than Russia tat is Turkey to occupy the land of a member state and threaten the territorial integrity of another By the way what is the position of Lithuania on these issues

Lithuania wants its Great Duchy back.

All democracy needs 2 fail is 4 those who value it 2 do zip. Founding Fathers knew that & tried 2 put into the Constitution everything that would prevent this. But they couldn’t think about 2day & trusted that good, free people would always go 2 great lengths 2 protect freedom

Russua is belkaruse support tough one

EU to hone 'carrot and stick' line on Turkey, top official saysEuropean Union leaders will decide on a 'carrot and stick' approach to Turkey when they meet on Sept. 24-25, their chairman said on Friday, proposing a multi-party conference to defuse tensions in the eastern Mediterranean. Only when Turkey stow pirate operations into EUs waters and airspace(in Greece AND and Cyprus) and accepts international law and treaties. Only paid agents of Turkey may orchestrate other ways EU can eat the carrot and put the stick on her ass. Cool ha? truthandfiction It would be like using a squirt gun to put out a wildfire.
