The decision is a response to attempts to organize illegal migration.

The EU offered to partially freeze the visa facilitation agreement with Belarus. Restrictions apply to Belarusian officials.

- This restriction will not affect ordinary citizens, but only government officials and holders of diplomatic passports of Belarus, - quotes zerkalo.io as the deputy head of the European Commission for the promotion of the European way of life Margaritis Schinas said.

The decision “is a response to the attempts of the Belarusian regime to destabilize the EU and its countries by instrumentalizing illegal migration” in the statement of the European Commissioner for Internal Affairs Ylva Johansson.
