August 3, 2006 -- Diplomatic relations between Latvia and Belarus took another turn for the worse today when Riga recalled its ambassador in Minsk.
The decision comes just one day after Latvia expelled a Belarusian diplomat.
Last week, Belarusian police raided the home of a Latvian diplomat in Minsk, confiscating his possessions and accusing him of distributing pornography.
Latvia says the raid was a breach of the international conventions on the treatment of diplomatic staff.
