Couple weeks ago it was Serbia and now Belarus tells American ambassador to get out.

Belarus advises U.S. ambassador to leave over sanctions
07/ 03/ 2008



MINSK, March 7 (RIA Novosti) - Belarus advised the United States ambassador to leave the capital, Minsk, and recalled its ambassador from Washington for consultations, the Foreign Ministry said on Friday.
The ministry said the move was made over sanctions Washington imposed last year against the former Soviet republic.

"Belarus earlier said that retaliatory measures with regard to the United States would be strict and one of the steps is to recall the Belarusian Ambassador to the United States Mikhail Khvostov for consultations," the ministry said.
"At the same time the government of Belarus strongly recommends U.S. Ambassador to Belarus Karen Stewart leave the country for the same purpose," the ministry added.

In mid-November last year, the U.S. introduced sanctions against Belarus's national petrochemical company Belneftekhim and froze the assets of its U.S. subsidiary, which Belarus said breached a bilateral trade deal, designed to give better access for Belarusian goods and services, as well as the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT).
Alexander Lukashenko the controversial Belarusian leader, dubbed "Europe's last dictator" by Washington, pledged last year to react swiftly in the economic sphere and threatened Stewart with expulsion.

"She [the ambassador] would be the first to be kicked out. She attends opposition hangouts and says economic sanctions could be introduced against Belarus, heating up the situation. Let the American ambassador deal with her own problems, otherwise she may have to leave her post in Belarus ahead of time," Lukashenko said.

The president said the U.S. sanctions were caused by Belarus starting work in Venezuela. In December, a joint Belarusian-Venezuelan oil production company was opened there, with plans to produce about 7 million tons (51.45 million bbl) of oil annually, 40% will go to Belarus and 60% to Venezuela.

You made a point of mentioning at the bottom that Serbia withdrew its ambassador because of the US supporting Kosovo. You just want to show how pissed off everyone is, and I don't care.

U.S. Ambassador to Belarus leaves Minsk
12/ 03/ 2008

MINSK, March 12 (RIA Novosti) - The U.S. Ambassador to Belarus left Minsk for Washington on Wednesday, the U.S. embassy said on its website.

Late last week, Belarus advised the U.S ambassador, Karen Stewart, to leave the capital, Minsk, and recalled its ambassador from Washington for consultations over new sanctions against its national petrochemical company, Belneftekhim.

Belarus reiterated on Tuesday its demand for Stewart to leave.

"Ambassador Stewart's absence is temporary, and she remains the U.S. Ambassador to Belarus," the embassy said, adding that Washington's policy toward Minsk remained unchanged.
In mid-November last year, the U.S. introduced sanctions against Belneftekhim, and froze the assets of its U.S. subsidiary. Belarus said the moves breached a bilateral trade deal designed to give better access to Belarusian goods and services.
Alexander Lukashenko, the controversial Belarusian leader dubbed "Europe's last dictator" by Washington, pledged last year to retaliate in the economic sphere and threatened Stewart with expulsion from Minsk.

He also said the U.S. sanctions were caused by Minsk's decision to start oil production work in Venezuela. In December, a joint Belarusian-Venezuelan oil production company was opened in the South American country, with plans to produce about 7 million tons (51.45 million bbl) of oil annually. 40% is to go to Belarus and 60% to Venezuela.
