Minsk is engaging in “multi-speed integration” with Baltic states

The head of the Estonian parliamentary delegation, who visited Minsk last week, spoke about the policy of openness in relations with Belarus. Estonia does not regard Belarus as a threat to regional security. Estonian and Latvian policies and statements radically differ from the confrontational relations between Lithuania and Belarus. Due to the difference in the attitudes of the Baltic states towards sensitive issues in relations with Belarus, i.e. the Nuclear Power Plant construction in Astravets and military cooperation between Belarus and Russia, the Belarusian authorities feel more confident in shaping their regional policy.
