Lithuania’s Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys has called on the European Union to deepen its sanctions against Belarus after a series of cigarette-smuggling balloon incursions into the country's airspace.
"We want to see not only solidarity (...) we want the sanctions regime (of the EU) to be strengthened against Belarus," Budrys told Euronews' interview programme "12 minutes with..." on Tuesday, adding that Brussels should move to specifically target Minsk's aviation and banking sectors.
