Opposition leader: dictators cannot be allowed to divide Belarusians and Lithuanians

December 2, Pozirk. Dictators cannot be allowed to spark quarrels between Belarusians and Lithuanians, Belarusian opposition leader Śviatłana Cichanoŭskaja has said at a conference on Belarus-Lithuania relations that has opened today in Vilnius, her press office reported.
“We are united by centuries of history, values and a similar culture,” the politician said. “Most importantly, Belarusians, like Lithuanians, see their future in the European family of nations.”
Today, Belarusians are on the same “path to freedom,” that Lithuania once took, she noted.
Designed as a platform for dialogue, the conference features politicians, researchers, artists and civil society activists. 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.
