The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus demanded explanations from Lithuania in connection with the statements of its President Dalia Grybauskaite about the Belarusian threat to the countries of the Baltic States and Poland.

This is stated in the message of the Office.

"On June 6, in connection with the statements of the President of the Republic of Lithuania, Dalia Grybauskaite, the Ambassador of Lithuania was summoned to the Foreign Ministry of Belarus in an interview with LRT," the Foreign Ministry said..

During the meeting, the Belarusian side demanded explanations in connection with the accusations of Belarus in the threat to the Baltic States and Poland, which sounded from the lips of the head of the Lithuanian state, told the Foreign Ministry.

In Minsk, it was clarified that the vocabulary of Grybauskaite, including the words "aggressive games", is insulting to Belarus, which "conducts a peace-loving policy".

On June 5, the Lithuanian leader named the neighborhood with the Russian Federation and Belarus as "a challenge and a threat" in the said interview.

"Estonia, like Latvia, and Poland are very important for us, because this is the eastern border of NATO, so the challenges and threats are the same. It is the finding of Russia and Belarus at our eastern borders. Of course, this is the militarization that we see in Kaliningrad, the use of the territory of Belarus for various experiments and aggressive games directed against the West. Among them - and the upcoming military exercises, "- she said..

As the "Observer" wrote, Lithuania is concerned about the Russian-Belarusian military exercises "West-2017".
