November 11, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja has sent her greetings to Poland on its Independence Day, noting Warsaw’s “steadfast friendship” with the Belarusian pro-democracy forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our common history, shared values, and love for freedom unite us. Together, we stand strong for a free and united Europe,” the politician said on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cichano\u016dskaja\u2019s recent visit to Poland about a month ago featured a meeting with Polish Interior Minister Tomasz Siemoniak, whom she thanked for establishing a working group to facilitate the legalization of Belarusians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland, which became a primary choice for Belarusians fleeing politically-motivated reprisals at home, is mulling changes to its migration policy, including potential \u201cterritorial\u201d suspension of asylum procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced a new strategy designed to deter illegal migration by third-country nationals via Belarus that Warsaw considers a hybrid attack organized by Minsk and Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new migration strategy will not affect most Belarusians staying or planning to stay in the country legally, according to Tomasz Cytrynowicz in charge of the Polish Office for Foreigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
