Belarus proposed specific solutions and options for developing the situation with a German citizen sentenced to death in the country. This was announced by the press secretary of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry, Anatoly Glaz.
"Taking into account the request of the German Foreign Ministry, the Belarusian side proposed concrete solutions for the available options for the development of the situation. Consultations are being held on this topic through the foreign ministries of both countries, he said.
Glaz noted that “this criminal is a German citizen” and therefore Minsk “understands the concern of the German side for him”. “In full compliance with international standards and bilateral agreements, the Belarusian side has provided consular access to this person,” said the press secretary of the MFA.
Earlier, Western media, citing organizations recognized as extremist in Belarus, reported that the Belarusian court at the end of June sentenced German citizen Rico Krieger to death, found guilty of terrorism and mercenary activity.< /span>
