Adviser: president likely to veto law on different restrictions for Russian and Belarusian nationals

President Gitanas Nausėda is likely to veto a law aimed at introducing certain restrictions on Russian and Belarusian nationals which suggest different treatment for the two nationalities, the chief adviser to the president on national security says.

The current draft law provides for stricter restrictions for Russian nationals while Belarusians would enjoy exemptions in acquiring citizenship and buying property, the presidential adviser stresses.
