LUXEMBOURG (AP) - Diplomats say the European Union has temporarily lifted a travel ban on authoritarian Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and other top officials as part of warming relations with the isolated country.
The EU also met with Belarus' foreign minister. The EU is rewarding the country viewed as the last European dictatorship for initial steps on the path to reform, two diplomats from EU nations familiar with the decision said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
