The European Union refuses to recognize Alexander Lukashenko as President of Belarus despite his unexpected swearing in pointing to the falsified results of the August 9 election and his lack of any democratic legitimacy, the head of the government said on Thursday.
Election neither free nor fair
Mr. Borrell said in a statement, the August 9 election was neither free nor fair. The EU does not recognize falsified results.
