Poland urges Belarus to respect Polish minority

Poland's prime minister is urging Belarus to do more to protect its Polish ethnic minority.

Donald Tusk spoke during a Friday visit to Warsaw by Belarusian Foreign minister Sergei Martynov.

Tusk said he hopes the visit will help thaw relations with Belarus and nudge Poland's autocratic eastern neighbor closer to the West. But he also said there were "scandalous elements of repression and obstruction of the Polish minority and their institutions" in Belarus.
