Belarus` foreign ministry slams Warsaw for backing opposition contender 11:09, 27/01/2006
Belarus` foreign ministry has condemned Warsaw`s support for an opposition presidential contender as interference in the country`s internal affairs. The statement comes in response to Aleksandr Milinkevich, united democratic forces` candidate, meetings with Poland`s president and lawmakers the previous day.
"The persistent support by the Polish side of only one presidential candidate, in our opinion, represents open and purposeful interference in the internal political process in our country," Andrei Popov, spokesman for the foreign ministry, told reporters on Thursday.
During a 30-minute meeting with Mr. Milinkevich, Polish President Lech Kaczynski said he fully supported Belarus` united democratic forces, reported the opposition hopeful`s camp. The Polish leader reportedly noted the contender`s courage and pledged support for democratization in Belarus.
