A Belarusian spy working against the interests of Poland was arrested Saturday in neighboring Lithuania, Poland's national prosecutor is quoted by the Associated Press news agency.

Prosecutor Janusz Kaczmarek said the Belarusian had worked "for a long time against the economic and defense interests of Poland."

He was arrested in a "joint undertaking between Polish intelligence and the Lithuanian services," Kaczmarek said during an interview broadcast on TVN24 television.

He refused to identify the suspect or divulge any further details. Officials in Lithuania could not immediately be reached for comment.

Poland, which has long pushed for democratic change in neighboring Belarus, has tense relations with Minsk.
