The United States Ambassador to Belarus is the official representative of the President of the United States to the head of state of Belarus. Until 1991 the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic had been a constituent SSR of the Soviet Union. Upon the breakup of the USSR, the Supreme Soviet of Belarus declared itself independent of the Soviet Union on August 25, 1991 and renamed itself the Republic of Belarus on September 19, 1991. The United States recognized Belarus December 26, 1991. An embassy was established in the capital, Minsk, on January 31, 1992, with John Ford as ''Chargé d’Affaires ad interim''. Relations between the United States and Belarus have been continuous since that time. The U.S. Embassy in Belarus is located in Minsk. As of March 12, 2008, when Ambassador Karen Stewart was formally recalled for consultations, there has been no U.S. Ambassador in Minsk. All but five U.S. diplomats were declared ''persona non grata'' on April 30, 2008. ==Ambassadors== *David Heywood Swartz – Career FSO * *Title: Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary * *Appointed: August 11, 1992 * *Presented credentials: September 9, 1992 * *Terminated mission: Left post January 21, 1994 *Kenneth Spencer Yalowitz – Career FSO * *Title: Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary * *Appointed: September 29, 1994 * *Presented credentials: November 7, 1994 * *Terminated mission: Left post July 8, 1997 *Daniel V.
