Freezing sanctions against Belarus, the West is indirectly recognized in the country Held presidential elections, says Deputy Dean of the faculty of world policy and world economy, higher school of Economics Andrei Suzdaltsev. on last Sunday the election of the acting head of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko for the fifth time prevailed with a record of 83, 5%, the second place was taken by the candidate "against all" 6, 4%. The CEC of Belarus and the CIS observers revealed that serious violations of the election was not. on the first day of the week the Minister of foreign Affairs of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier said that the penalties regarding Belarus are able to be modified or removed in light of the past elections in the country and in response to the release of political prisoners. The Minister for foreign Affairs of Croatia, Vesna Pusi? agreed the possible reduction of punishment by the EU. "currently penalties against Lukashenko defiantly will freeze, showing what a good Lukashenka, as opposed to from the head of Russia, for which punishment until not removed. Lukashenko performed a basic "road map" to stabilize relations with the West that first political prisoners were released, and after that currently did not want to read the two dialogues on deployment of a Russian aviation base. This, of course, he was reading, and It is the main input into what the West recognizes the elections. They have the ability to recognize directly or indirectly. For example, take and freeze punishment, It would be an indirect recognition of the results of the vote, " Suzdaltsev said Fins news . in mid-September, the head of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian defence Ministry and foreign Ministry to hold dialogue with Minsk and up to sign the agreement on creation in Belarus of a Russian aviation base. Later Lukashenka said that he had not discussed with Russia the question of the establishment within the Republic of the Russian airbase. Thus, Suzdaltsev believes, we cannot say that Lukashenko did not win the election. "Let's go to the electorate on the election of external Danger, it was inflated by the fact that Belarus as if to threaten a similar nightmare that exists in Ukraine. Lukashenko stepped up its support for outside events. This is a fairly weak position, because often in self-sufficient countries elections are held on the evaluation of internal processes. There is a moment of pure PR, because Lukashenka is very sensitive to the ratings of the presidents of Russia and Kazakhstan, and its task was to demonstrate not less result. This has been done. However, to say that Lukashenko did not win the election, not because the people actually went to vote, for fear of some civil instability, " he added. in his vision, relations of Minsk with Moscow will remain the same, Belarus will continue the policy of maneuvering between Russia and the West. The European Union alleging human rights violations in Belarus in 2012 it expanded introduced at the beginning of the 2010 winter punishment on the country, for Example, limiting the entry of Belarusian bureaucrats on the platform of the European Union, and made it a condition of improving relations, the release of all " political prisoners ". Minsk claimed that political prisoners in the country. The Council of the European Union extended penalties against Belarus until 31 October 2015.
