The Belarusian Foreign Ministry expressed doubt about the need for contacts with Lithuania.

Belarusian Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov said on January 21 that the ministry would consider whether to "open a window of opportunity" for cooperation with Lithuania.

"And when the window of opportunity for resuming cooperation opens, we will have to think several times about how much to open this window and whether it should be opened at all," Ryzhenkov said in an interview with BelTA.

The minister also stated that the Lithuanian government "does not think and is not going to think about its people." According to him, Vilnius listens only to Brussels and Washington and does everything they say.
