The presentation of the Flying University program for 2013-2014 will be held on September, 13. Now it looks like a good time to make a brief summary of achievements and plans for the future.

When the leaders of such countries as Bolivia or Sri-Lanka visit Belarus we should rather view it as their business and working trips than consider it a win in Belarusan foreign politics.

There are no actions and events able to change political life of the country in the near future. The forecast was made by Uladzimir Matskevich, the Head of the Board of the International Consortium “EuroBelarus”.

In fact, this conflict is very important as it affects geopolitical destiny of Belarus and Russia. But most elements of this puzzle are hidden from the society.

Upon participating in the presidential elections Belarusan opposition will only help the regime and further the illusion of the existing choice and minimal democracy in our country.

In situation, when possible introduction of social networks’ legal control is discussed without business sector and publicity, we run high risks that we get a law, which infringes on citizens’ rights.

Even the possible release of political prisoners cannot be viewed as some progress in relations between Belarus and the EU.

“The release of political prisoners merely eliminates the most odious reason why Belarus-EU dialog is impossible,” this opinion Ulad Vialichka, the chairman of the International Consortium "EuroBelarus" shared to the EuroBelarus Information Service.

Published the Belarusan Yearbook 2012. This publication is an annual integral analysis of the essential spheres of the state and society.
