MINSK, 9 April (BelTA) – Good neighborly relations between the Baltic states and Belarus are inevitable, chairman of the Latvian party Stability, a former member of the Latvian Seimas Aleksey Roslikov told BelTA.
“I am convinced that everything happening today [the reluctance of Baltic leaders to build partnership relations with Belarus and Russia] is neither a barrier nor an end. This is the path we must overcome. Remember one simple thing: change is inevitable.Therefore, the difficulties and moments of inconvenience that we are experiencing today are the price we will all have to pay,” Alexey Roslikovsaid.
He believes that good neighborly relations between Belarus and Latvia are inevitable. “Look at border crossing statistics, how many Latvian citizens have visited Belarus since the beginning of the year. That is a huge number for Latvia. Our country has a law that prohibits people holding state positions or working in government bodies from visiting Belarus at all. This is forbidden by the law. Believe me, if that law did not exist, the number of people coming to Belarus would, I think, double,” the Latvian politician emphasized.
