MINSK, 19 September (BelTA) - The Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no information confirming the ban on entry of Belarusian citizens with Schengen visas to Poland and the Baltic countries, BelTA has learned.
"As of today, the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no official information on this matter," the press service of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
Earlier, a number of media outlets reported that Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland are imposing a ban on the entry of citizens of Russia and Belarus with Schengen visas issued in other EU countries.
