Abstract | November 15, the European Union may adopt a fifth package of sanctions against Belarus. Brussels continues to accuse Minsk of organizing the migration crisis on the Belarusian-European borders. At the same time, Germany emphasized that "the EU cannot be blackmailed" and refused a direct dialogue with the Belarusian leadership, turning to Russia for mediation. In an interview with Eurasia.Expert, Alexander Rahr, a well-known political scientist and senior fellow at the Institute of World Trends (Potsdam), predicted how the situation would develop further. |
