EU got to deal with pirate act of Belarus

The interception of a passenger plane by the Belarusian secret services will be one of the topics of the EU summit in Brussels that is just beginning. Meanwhile, after the detention of the Belarusian journalist Roman Protasewicz on a plane from Athens to Vilnius, activists of the Belarusian opposition do not feel safe in Poland either.

"It is indeed necessary to give protection to the opposition leaders," former diplomat and journalist Witold Jurasz said. 

In his opinion, our country should "ensure that we have counterintelligence."

Under the pretext of allegedly having a bomb on board, the Ryanair plane landed in an emergency in Minsk on Sunday. According to Ryanair, the pilot was informed by Belarusian dispatchers about the bomb. As it soon turned out, there was no cargo, and Protasiewicz, a Belarusian opposition activist wanted by an arrest warrant, was immediately arrested at the airport. The Polish authorities unequivocally condemned the act of state terrorism. Donald Tusk also spoke out in the same tone.

"Lukashenka has become a threat not only to the citizens of his country but also to international security. His act of state terrorism requires an immediate and decisive response from all European governments and institutions," the politician wrote on Twitter.
