Belarus detains Lithuania's vehicle with diplomatic mail Foreign Ministry expresses protest Link copied aA Belarus has stopped a Lithuanian vehicle carrying diplomatic mail, leading to a strong protest from Lithuania's Foreign Ministry over the violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. At Medininkai border crossing point, Belarusian officials demanded that diplomatic seals were removed and the car opened. When Lithuanian diplomatic couriers refused, they were forced to turn back to Lithuania, the ministry said. "Belarusian officials have hindered the passage of the diplomatic couriers, which is a grave breach of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Belarus has once again demonstrated that this country undermines all the rules of civilization. There is a raving dictator in the centre of Europe," Minister of Foreign Affairs Gabrielius Landsbergis said in a statement.
