Its four panels cover Belarus’ European aspirations, the fight against propaganda and disinformation, strengthening of Belarusian-Lithuanian relations and cultural ties between the two countries.
The organizers are the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and Cichanoŭskaja’s office.
