"I am pleased that the European Union is making the right moves in the battle with Lukashenko's dictatorship, because we, as Europeans, must not support this dictatorship at the heart of the continent.
However, I have here a list of European Union cities from various states and regions, which have cooperative, brotherly ties with various Belarusian cities and regions. And as we know, in Belarusian cities there are loyal servants of Lukashenko's regime and they are the people who are supporting the dictatorship.
Therefore we, Members of the European Parliament, must urge European Union city leaders to suspend official relations with the servants of Lukashenko's regime. There is no doubt that our European cities must maintain ties with Belarusian cities in the areas of culture, sports and education.
However, our city leaders, city leaders of the European Union states, must not legitimise or recognise Lukashenko's dictatorship by maintaining relations with the official servants of the regime.
I believe that we must make some sort of decision or position on this matter."@en1
