In order to further demonstrate the openness and peaceful intentions of the Republic of Belarus, its commitment to the principles of good neighborliness, as well as to simplify people-to-people contacts and improve freedom of movement, the President of the Republic of Belarus has decided to extend the procedure for temporary visa-free entry into, exit from, and stay in the Republic of Belarus for citizens of 38 European states.
