(ANSA-AFP) - MINSK, 18 AGO - European leaders urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to push for dialogue in neighbouring Belarus on Tuesday as opposition supporters protested President Alexander Lukashenko's disputed election win for a 10th day. Demonstrators rallied outside a detention centre in Minsk where the husband of Lukashenko's main challenger in the election was being held, the latest in a wave of protests after the president claimed a sixth term in the August 9 ballot. EU chief Charles Michel said on Twitter that he had spoken to Putin by phone and added that "only peaceful and truly inclusive dialogue can resolve the crisis in Belarus". German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron also spoke with Putin, whose country has close economic and military ties with its neighbour. Merkel told Putin the authorities in Minsk must "enter into a national dialogue with the opposition and society to overcome the crisis", while Macron urged the Russian leader to foster "calm and dialogue".
