Staff members of the Polish Embassy say organisers of the book fair came to them and forbade to present Nyaklyaeu's book.
The presentation nevertheless started in front of the exposition stand of the embassy. Security guards came to the presenter, poet Andrei Khadanovich, and gave him five minutes to end the ceremony.
Organisers of the book fair also banned the exposition booth of Lohvinau's publishing house to hold Uladzimir Nyaklyaeu's autograph session.
