    At first glance I thought it was only Belarus who opposed it. That’d be a weird world where totalitarian government opposes totalitarian control.

      Let me guess: You are an American with no clue about Geography / foreign politics?

      1. Belarus isn’t in the EU. Its position doesn’t matter, independent from which side they are on.

      2. Belarus is part of the big grey blob in the east of the map (alongside Ukraine and Russia). So the map doesn’t state anything about Belarus’ opinion on the topic.

      3. In case you thought the dark green blob in central Europe is Belarus: those are Germany and Poland.

        No, I’m Belarusian.

        1. In case you haven’t noticed, I said “At first glance”
        2. Due to the map being zoomed in a little closer than usual, and because of the omissions of countries borders, it shifts visual appearance of countries towards right. A honest mistake if you ask me, and which I found to be funny, hence the comment.
        3. Why so serious?
        4. What being an American has to do with this? Anyway, I’ll take that as a compliment for my English.
