European Union foreign ministers will discuss Belarus but are unlikely to decide on Friday to adopt sanctions in response to a violent crackdown on post-election protests, Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg said.
He told a joint news conference with visiting U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that he did not rule out sanctions in future. EU foreign ministers will meet at 1300 GMT via a video call to discuss Belarus.
