Decision on Belarusian-Lithuanian dispute delayed till next Espoo Convention meeting

19.06.2017

The decision on the Belarusian-Lithuanian dispute will be made during the next session of the Meeting of the Parties to the Espoo Convention, BelTA learned from Belarusian First Deputy Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Minister Iya Malkina after the seventh session of the Meeting of the Parties to the Espoo Convention on 16 June.

The official said: “A consolidated decision has been made in favor of continuing discussing the so-called country-specific matters. All the matters revolving around specific disputes between countries — Belarus and Lithuania, Armenia and Azerbaijan, the UK, the Ukrainian issue — have been postponed till the additional session of the Meeting of the Parties to the Espoo Convention that will take place in late 2018 – early 2019. That session will review the matters we’ve been discussing for so long during this session. We hope that taking into account the additional information the Espoo Convention Implementation Committee will acquire, we will be able to at last see some final reports of the committee on these situations.”
