Source in Lithuanian FM: It was provocation both against Belarusian opposition and Lithuania 12:15, 20/04/2005
Lithuanian FM is expecting an answer for the diplomatic note sent to the Belarusian government in connection with the information about the confiscated money which allegedly had been delivered from Lithuania for the Belarusian opposition. Meanwhile Lithuanian media inform that a high-ranking official of the Lithuanian FM told that it had been a provocation not only against the Belarusian oppositi8on, but against Lithuania as well.
Lithuanian media disseminated a statement of one of the officials of the Lithuanian diplomatic department that the information about the money allegedly transported from Lithuania for the Belarusian opposition was a provocation. The detainees are not citizens of Lithuania, they even had no Lithuanian visas, so in reality the arrest had taken place in Minsk, and not in the train on its way from Lithuania.
BNS agency cites the high-ranking official from the Lithuanian FM, who asked not to reveal his name: “It is obvious from these facts that it had been a preplanned and flagrant provocation, aimed not only against the Belarusian opposition, but against Lithuania as well”.
