Belarus may leave EEU if agreements not kept – Lukashenko
Belarus will reserve the right to leave the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) if the agreements achieved within the union’s framework are not observed, President Alexander Lukashenko told a news conference for domestic and foreign mass media on Thursday, TASS reported.
He warned that further efforts to build the Eurasian Economic Union would not be easy.
Belarus will be promoting deeper integration within the EEU by all possible means and working for the creation of an equitable union without exemptions or omissions, he promised. "We are obliged to use the opportunities opening up within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union," he said, adding that Belarus took the office of the EEU chairman on January 1, 2015.
