European Union and Belarus are experiencing delays in finalizing visa agreements

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus, Vladimir Makei, has confirmed that a continued discussion on the changes to the project of Priorities of Partnership between Belarus and the European Union is ongoing. In a statement to journalists, Makei revealed that some European countries within the European Union are proposing changes and tightening of initial agreements.

Makei expressed that these proposed changes are not entirely acceptable to Belarus. However, he remains optimistic, believing a suitable option will be found regarding the discussion on these changes. The Minister also mentioned that new aspects related to initiatives from European partners are emerging, which are affecting the project of Priorities of Partnership.

The statement was reported by BelTA. The details of the specific changes proposed by individual European Union countries in partnership agreements with Belarus were not available in the search results. If such information is required, it may be necessary to consult direct official statements from Belarusian diplomatic sources or EU foreign affairs communications beyond the scope of these search results.

It is worth noting that the search results primarily focus on recent EU sanctions packages against Russia and Belarus, including the 18th sanctions package from July 2025, which imposes further restrictive measures, asset freezes, and trade restrictions on Belarus largely mirroring those on Russia. There is also information about a trade framework between the EU and the United States unrelated to Belarus.

As the discussions continue, both parties are expected to work towards a mutually beneficial agreement that respects the interests of all parties involved. The ongoing dialogue between Belarus and the European Union is a testament to the importance of maintaining open lines of communication in international relations.
