MINSK, 15 November (BelTA) – The accusations by the EU against Belarus of engineering migrant flows are strange considering the obvious figures: since 1 August of this year, Belarus has denied entry to about 8,000 people, official representative of the Belarusian State Border Committee Anton Bychkovsky told BelTA.
“About 5,000 foreigners who entered Belarus on legal grounds during this period already left the Belarusian territory as a result of the measures to prevent violations of migration legislation, and those were potential migrants. These are concrete, documented facts," he said.
