Minsk responds to EU sanctions by banning imports of certain goods

Belarus has decided to respond to the European Union for the sanctions it has regularly imposed on Minsk. It has introduced restrictions on the importation of foreign goods

Now all the states, applying restrictive measures against Belarus, have got reciprocal bans. This was reported by RT, citing a statement from the Belarusian Foreign Ministry.

“As a retaliatory measure … the Belarusian government has decided to ban imports of certain goods originating from the states, applying illegal anti-belarusian sanctions”, –  it said.

Belarus intends to replace the missing imports with goods from friendly countries. Thus, this decision will not affect the country itself, but the EU will lose one of its markets.
