As allegations mount that Belarus is using migrants to destabilise the European Union, the bloc’s executive branch proposed on Wednesday to tighten visa restrictions on members of President Alexander Lukashenko’s regime.
The European Commission wants the 27 EU member countries to consider suspending parts of a “visa facilitation agreement” with Belarus that entered force in July 2020. The deal was aimed at improving contacts and drawing the former Soviet country closer to Europe.
