The European Parliament is preparing a resolution for the EU to impose sanctions on Belarus for its persecution of the opposition. According to the Parliament's spokesman the document is to be adopted at the upcoming Strasbourg session.
Sanctions envisage no EU-entry for Belarusian leaders and top officials, and a freeze on their assets in Europe.
The sanctions followed the arrest of several opposition members, who protested against the presidential election results on December 19.
