After the ultimatum expires for Nicolás Maduro to call for free elections in Venezuela, the countries that recognize Juan Guaidó as interim president continue to be added.
Polish Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz announced his decision in Brussels and the governments of the three Baltic countries, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, issued a statement recognizing the president of the National Assembly of Venezuela as "interim president" in charge of preparing "clean and democratic" presidential elections.
"The presidential elections of May last year were not clean nor in line with international standards"Estonian Foreign Minister Sven Mikser said in a statement.
The text makes explicit the recognition of Guaidó by the Estonian government, "as have made other democratic countries" and "in accordance with the declaration of the EU of 26 January".
