The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Belarus has called on the Consul General in Brest Jerzy Timofeyuk to leave the country in connection with a gross violation of the Vienna Convention. This was reported by TASS with reference to the press service of the Foreign Ministry.
Timofeyuk, according to the Belarusian Foreign Ministry, took part in an unofficial event dedicated to the Day of the Damned Soldiers, held on February 28 with the participation of representatives of non-governmental and youth organizations associated with Poland.
The statement notes that by participating in this event, the Polish diplomat grossly violated international law, in particular the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.
“In this regard, the Polish side was presented with a note in which the consul of the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Brest, Jerzy Timofeyuk, was asked to leave the territory of the Republic of Belarus,” the statement says.
On March 1, Poland celebrates National Day of Remembrance for “Outcast Soldiers” (another version is National Day of Remembrance of the Damned Soldiers), which is dedicated to members of the anti-Soviet and anti-communist armed underground that operated in Poland in the late 1940s and 1950s.
