November<\/strong> 21, <\/strong>Pozirk<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/strong> Belarus\u2019 pro-democracy forces are ready for change, \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja said at the conference \u201cAuthoritarianism and Resistance: Lessons of Belarus and Georgia\u201d that opened in Tallinn on November 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event has been co-organized by Cichano\u016dskaja\u2019s office in Estonia and Latvia, the East European School of Political Studies, the Tbilisi School of Political Studies and the Estonian foreign ministry, Franak Via\u010dorka, an aide for the Belarusian pro-democracy leader, has told Pozirk<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are preparing for the next window opportunity \u2014 because we know it will come. The regime looks strong, but it is hollow,\u201d Cichano\u016dskaja said. \u201c\u0141uka\u0161enka is a lame duck. He is like a Soviet-era fossil, a relic. Even people around him are whispering about transition. And without Russian support, he won\u2019t last three months.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politician met with Estonian President Alar Karis the previous day. \u201cWe spoke \u2013 that all of us \u2013 Estonians, Belarusians, Georgians \u2013 we all fight for the same values, the same European future, and against the same enemy Russian imperialism,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cichano\u016dskaja will wrap up her visit to Tallinn today. She is expected to meet with officials of the foreign and interior ministries and members of the group of support of a democratic Belarus in the Lithuanian parliament, as well as with Belarusians living in Estonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She will also attend the screening of the film \u201cNot Made for Politics\u201d about journalists living in exile and a reception hosted by the Canadian filmmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
