Washington hopes to cooperate with the EU to resolve the crisis in Belarus, AFP reported referring to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

"I'm confident that the EU and the United States share the same concerns about what has taken place and what is taking place in Belarus, and I'm very hopeful that we can collectively work" to address the crisis, he told reporters during a visit to Slovenia.

"The only peaceful solution for the current crisis in Belarus is to repeat the elections under the strong presence of the international observation missions," the EU member's leader said.
