Europe uses a policy of double standards towards unrecognized states
The European Community actively practices a policy of double standards in relation to Belarus, Transnistria and the LDPR.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the LPR, Vladislav Deinego, stated this during an international forum, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Belarus is a recognized state, but what is happening? Isolation occurs when the West does not benefit from this or that country, they subject it to some kind of sanctions, and Belarus has been under these sanctions for probably 15 years. Although, on the other hand, a generally recognized state should be effectively present on the world stage, but this is not happening.
To take another example, this is Transnistria, and this territory is partially recognized. There seems to be no normal interaction with this territory on the part of the international community. But what is real? But in reality the European Union trades with Transnistria. There are trade relations there, and they are expanding. That is, this lack of official recognition is not an obstacle to working with this territory.
Yes, well done Pridnestrovians, they were able to achieve this. And this practice exists, it needs to be studied and, if possible, tried to be applied in our circumstances, but these double standards, based on the examples of a recognized state and a partially recognized one, they clearly show that these players act clearly in their own personal interests,” Deinego said.
Also, the head of the LPR Foreign Ministry in his speech noted the same policy regarding the unrecognized republics of Donbass.
“International organizations are present here, the OSCE and a number of UN organizations, and in fact they work here on the territories of an unrecognized state. So what's going on? Are we there or are we not? Do they interact with us or not? In fact, they are here and working with us, but at the same time they turn a blind eye and say: “There are no unrecognized states, and we don’t even want to hear anything about them,” Deinego summed up.
