Belarus passport center in Vilnius shuts; no new centers planned abroad

The Belarusian passport center in Vilnius has closed, and Belarus has no immediate plans to open new centers in Poland or elsewhere. This reduces consular access for Belarusian citizens abroad, likely a deliberate move to pressure the diaspora and opposition. The closure signals tightening state control over citizens abroad and may complicate travel and legal status for Belarusians in the EU.
