The Belarusian Foreign Ministry said on Friday it is recalling the country's ambassadors to Lithuania and Poland for consultations.

"The Belarusian ambassadors to Poland and Lithuania are being recalled to Minsk for consultations as of October 5. The Polish and Lithuanian ambassadors to Belarus are correspondingly offered to follow the suit," Anatoly Glaz, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry said, cited by Belta state news agency.

Lithuania and Poland took a tough position on Alexander Lukashenko following the rigged August 9 presidential election and voiced support to Belarusians demanding a new election.
