Good neighborly relations between the Baltic States and Belarus are inevitable

Good-neighborly relations between the Baltic states and Belarus are inevitable. This was stated at a press conference by the chairman of the Latvian party "Stability!", ex-deputy of the Latvian Seimas Alexei Roslikov.

“Today, fuel prices in Latvia have increased 2.5 times. Before our leaders invented a story to avoid cooperating with Belarus, the country supplied over 700,000 tonnes of fuel, giving Latvia access to high-quality fuel. This illustrates the scale of Belarus’ potential: it fed its own people and, at no loss to itself, provided Latvia with critically needed fuel. That 700,000 tonnes represent half of Latvia’s entire consumption. These figures, in my view, should once again confirm that Belarus cared and allowed Latvia to feel as comfortable as possible,” Alexey Roslikov said.

He is convinced that good-neighborly relations between our countries are inevitable. "Look at the statistics of border crossings, how many Latvian citizens have arrived since the beginning of the year. This is a huge number in Latvia. We have a law in our country that prohibits people who hold government positions or government structures from coming here at all. That is, they are prohibited by law. Believe me, if this law had not been in place, I think the number of people who came to Belarus would have doubled," the Latvian politician stressed.
