Issues of accountability of Lukashenko regime representatives before the International Criminal Court and the Special Tribunal on the crime of aggression against Ukraine, as well as the results of elections to the Coordination Council of Belarus, were discussed by Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet, NAM Head Pavel Latushka and Coordination Council Speaker Artsiom Brukhan with the Special Representative of the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Relations with the Democratic Forces of Belarus Karmen Laus.

During the meeting, questions of further strengthening of sanctions pressure on the Lukashenko regime were discussed.

Karmen Laus was provided with information on the prospects for developing relations between the democratic forces of Belarus and Ukraine.

Also during the meeting with the representative of the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the position of the European Union regarding Belarus was discussed, as well as the importance of demanding systemic, rather than cosmetic, changes in the regime's internal repressive policy through the use of the round table instrument.

In addition, the parties touched upon the topic of Estonia's support for the work of the International Humanitarian Foundation and the prospects for the release of political prisoners in Belarus.

Pavel Latushka thanked Karmen Laus for Estonia's consistent position in support of democratic transformations in Belarus.

The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs representative noted that Estonia's position regarding the Lukashenko regime remains unchanged, as the regime does not change its internal repressive and external aggressive policy.
