Minsk on May 29 after having talks with his Belarusian counterpart Vladimir
Makei.
"We are alarmed by an increase in NATO's activities, which
we've been recently noticing in close proximity to our borders, primarily in
the Baltic states and Poland," Lavrov said.
"Such actions to unilaterally build up the military
infrastructure, deploy forces and assets near our borders are destructive and
undermine trust and mutual understanding," he said.
Talking about the situation on the European continent and in the
Euro-Atlantic space, Lavrov stressed that Belarus and Russia are interested
in advancing equal, mutually beneficial relations with the European Union and
via a dialogue with the North Atlantic Alliance.
"We've agreed to continue working towards fixing the
relations in line with the political documents adopted at the top level at
the end of the Cold War," he said.
