September 16, Pozirk<\/em><\/strong>. Belarus will eventually become part of the \u201cfamily of European countries,\u201d D\u017amitryj Ku\u010duk, chairman of the Belarusian Greens Party outlawed by Minsk, has told journalists in Vilnius, where he was taken after being pardoned on September 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ku\u010duk, along with dozens of other prisoners, was released as part of Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s deal with Washington. He was serving a six-year prison term for alleged violent disorder and calls for international sanctions, charges widely seen as politically motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI, along with perhaps my colleagues, want to learn from Lithuania and gain experience that we can later transform and apply to reforms in Belarus,\u201d the politician said. \u201cDuring my time in Lithuania, I will focus on these areas, engage in political activity and collaborate with Lithuanian politicians to help Belarus become a European country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian greens have always cooperated with Lithuanian political forces that opposed the construction of the Belarusian nuclear power plant, located some 10 miles off the Lithuanian border and perceived as the a \u201cgeopolitical weapon\u201d by Vilnius, Ku\u010duk said. He pledged to continue this cooperation, including at the political level and within the For a Democratic Belarus parliamentary group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
