OREANDA-NEWS  Lithuania, which previously rejected the idea of negotiations with Belarus at the diplomatic level over the fate of Lithuanian trucks and the general situation on the border, is now considering such a possibility, according to statements by Remigius Motuzas, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Lithuanian Seimas.

"Belarus is now insisting on a meeting at the level of deputy ministers, and at the moment it is not being rejected, but is being considered," Motuzas said on Ziniu radijas radio.

"But let's be honest, the question arises: what are we going to talk about? If we meet, there should be an agenda. Our immediate interest is to ensure that there are no hybrid threats and that the trucks are returned," said the head of the parliamentary committee.

He added that "Lithuania does not reject these pragmatic interests at this stage, but the question of what the agenda might be is currently being formed." "And the second point is in which neutral zone we could meet," he concluded.

Minsk has been insisting on negotiations at the Foreign Ministry level for a long time. In turn, Vilnius refused to negotiate. As stated by the head of the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry, Kastutis Budris, Belarus, being under international sanctions, allegedly intends to achieve legitimization in the international arena.
