Majority of Belarusian diplomats working in Poland send their children home

The majority of the Belarusian diplomats working in Poland have sent their children back home, BelTA was informed by spokesman of the Belarusian embassy in Warsaw Vsevolod Glushakov.

He has noted that his 15-year-old daughter Anastasia went home when a group of people in black T-shirts holding candles and shouting slogans appeared by the embassy and the mission started getting threatening calls insulting the diplomats and Belarusian authorities.

The children of Russian diplomats who were attacked by Polish bandits went to the same school as Anastasia. When the father called the girl and told her what happened she was shocked. Anastasia is worrying about the boys who are still in hospital.

Vsevolod Glushkov noted that Russia demanded an official apology from Poland and sent a strong note to the foreign ministry of the country. The Polish authorities’ response was that Russia was aggravating the situation around the incident.

According to the official, the anti-Russian sentiment in the Polish mass media is fanned alongside with the campaign aimed against Belarus.

At present there is a 24-hour police post near the Belarusian embassy in Warsaw. Moreover, necessary measures have been taken to protect children of Belarusian diplomats who are still staying in Poland as well as all the employees of the diplomatic mission, Vsevolod Glushkov stressed.
