The status quo between the European Union and Belarus remains in place. The EU Council prolonged its present sanctions against Belarusan officials last week.

The National Platform of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum has called on the Belarusan government to ensure that the foreign minister or a higher-ranking official represents Belarus at the forthcoming Eastern Partnership Summit.

Political scientists referred to the contradictions that exist between the EurAsEC actors as to “unavoidable and insurmountable difficulties”.

The scenario similar to that happened at the summits in Prague or Warsaw, when the official Minsk deliberately reduced its representation there, is hardly going to happen again.

The Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum (EaP CSF) is trusted by political leaders from the EaP countries and the EU, and will continue enjoying the support of the EU and its member states.

Considering the fact that European Union has no integral strategy towards Belarus, the report prepared by Lithuanian MEP sounds like a nice plan.

Our government always claims that Belarusan opposition and civil society depend on grants, whereas the state itself is embezzling funds to an even greater extent.

Most of the money went to the state or international implementors and not to "the fifth column" inside Belarus, according to independent report.

Speculations around the issues of providing international donor aid can be stopped only by providing transparency at the highest possible level.

The problem of nuclear power plant construction in Astravets will become increasingly tense in Belarus-Lithuania relations.

Such opinion in the talk with EuroBelarus Information Service shared Andrei Yahorau, political scientist and the head of the Centre for European Transformation.
