EU Solana Heads For Belarus For Talks On Closer Cooperation

BRUSSELS (AFP)--European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana said Wednesday he was heading to Belarus for talks on closer cooperation, and to check on its fitness to become a partner nation.

The announcement came the day after Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko - dubbed Europe's last dictator in the U.S. - said he was ready to work with the E.U. but only on his terms.

"It is the first time I will be in Minsk and I would like to pass the message that we would like to get closer to your country," Solana told reporters in Brussels.

"Important decisions have been taken (by the Belarus authorities), but these decisions have to be accompanied by responsibility in all domains," he said.

Solana said he would meet Lukashenko on Thursday, along with Foreign Minister Sergei Martinov.
