Solana’s Meetings with Opposition not on TV

Only Javier Solana’s meetings with Belarusian officials were covered on television.

Official Belarusian television and Euronews reported about meetings of the EU’s High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy with Alyaksandr Lukashenka and Belarusian foreign minister Syarhei Martynau.They didn’t mention, however, that Javier Solana began his visit in Minsk with meetings with the Belarusian opposition.

The EU’s High Representative met a delegation of Belarusian democrats that consisted of former ploitical prisoner Alyaksandr Kazulin, leader of the “For Freedom” movement Alyaksandr Milinkevich, head of the Belarusian Association of Journalists Zhanna Litvina, chairman of the Belarusian Helsinki Committee Aleh Hulak, human rights activist Alena Tankachova, economist Pavel Daneika, and the head of the Belarusian Congress of Democratic Trade Unions Alyaksandr Yarashuk.
