Media reports in February 2016 on an upcoming decision of the Council of the European Union to suspend most restrictive measures against Belarus for four months, according to diplomatic sources.

The apparent decision reflected growing optimism about the direction taken by the country's president, who had made moves suggesting he wanted to improve relations with the West.
