Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds to American sanctions.

In the opinion of the Belarusian diplomats, the U.S. Ministry of Finance lost another opportunity to demonstrate common sense and to give up confrontation inthe Belarusian-American relationship. These are the words of the MFA's spokesman Andrey Savinykh, quoted by BelaPAN.

According to Savinykh, in the conditions of constant increase of financial and budget crisis, these sanctions will take a toll to the American businessmen in the first place.

Let us remind you, on August 11 the USA imposed additional economic sanctions against 4 big Belarusian state enterprises - "Belshina", "Hrodna Azot", "Hrodna Khimvalakno" and "Naftan".
