The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, EU and Cooperation has issued a new alert on Belarus in which it recommends “avoid non-essential travel”, in response to the diversion last Sunday of a Ryanair plane that was flying from Athens to Vilnius and in the one an opposition journalist was flying.

The diversion of said plane has led the countries of the European Union to veto the Belavia airline and to recommend to other companies that they do not fly over the Belarusian airspace, after the bloc governments have questioned Minsk's arguments about a Alleged security alert on Ryanair flight.

Most of the European airlines are canceling their flights to Minsk and avoiding crossing its airspace, Foreign Affairs has warned in its notice, in which it reminds Spaniards who are in Belarus and want to return to Spain that they can do so with a stopover in Turkey.

This update of the recommendations is added to another that advises against going to demonstrations against the government of Alexander Lukahsneko, which classifies any protest as illegal after the wave of mobilizations registered by the controversial elections of August 2020.
