Poland’s foreign minister Radosław Sikorski raised the issue of Polish minority in Belarus during a meeting of the Visegrad Group (Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia) which was held yesterday in Budapest, Hungary.

Foreign ministers of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus - the target beneficiaries of the EU‘s eastern Partnership - were invited to participate in the meeting.

Following his talks with Belarusian head of diplomacy, Sikorski said that a special bilateral group of experts will work on resolving the issue.

Two weeks ago the Belarusian court took away the Polish House in Ivenets from the Warsaw-backed Union of Poles in Belarus, placing it in the hands of another organization of the same name established by Lukashenko regime.
