RIGA - The European Union (EU) must impose sanctions against the Belarusian regime, while trying not to impact ordinary people as much as possible, Rihards Kols (National Alliance), Chairman of the Saeima Foreign Affairs Committee, said in an interview with Latvian Television this morning.
The politician acknowledged that the EU sanctioning process is slower than decisions related to airspace closures. Targeted sanctions must be a joint EU decision, affecting those areas that impact the wealth of the Minsk regime but are less ''hurtful'' to the Belarusian people.
