The fraud at the elections in Belarus, the violent repression of the protesters, as well as the inhuman treatments the citizens detained were subjected to cannot be left without an answer on the part of the EU, emphasized, on Wednesday, President Klaus Iohannis.

"In the intervention that I had I emphasized that the fraud at the presidential elections [in Belarus], the violent repression of protests, the inhuman treatments the detained citizens were subjected to cannot be left without an answer on the part of the EU. I requested the immediate intervention in the violence against peaceful protesters, as well as the freeing of the persons held illegally.
