It is the fifth round of sanctions that the European Union imposes on Belarus. For the first time, it includes the Belarusian state airline and tourism companies accused of moving people to the border with Poland.
The European Union (EU) has adopted new sanctions against Belarus in recent hours. This is the fifth round of sanctions, in this case, for instrumentalizing migrants.
The measures affect leaders, airlines, travel agencies, tourism companies, hotels accused of helping migrants to move to the Belarusian border with Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.
Specifically, the restrictions point to Belavia, the Belarusian state airline, for making flights from Middle Eastern countries to Belarus with migrants on board. Along with Belavia, the EU has sanctioned Cham Wings Airlines, a charter flight operator that has specialized in the route between Syria and Belarus.
Furthermore, the EU accuses the tour operator Oskartur and the public tourism company Tsentrkurort of organizing trips and processing visas in close collaboration with two other state-owned hotels, which allegedly housed migrants before being transported to the Belarusian-Polish border.
