Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet and delegate of the Coordination Council Pavel Latushka met with the Head of the Polish delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, PACE Vice-President and Chair of the Committee on EU Affairs of the Polish Sejm Agnieszka Pomaska.
During the meeting, the parties discussed prospects for the further development of cooperation and interaction within the framework of PACE. Pavel Latushka, as a member of the Coordination Council delegation to PACE, thanked the Polish delegation for its support of representatives of the democratic forces of Belarus in the Assembly and expressed hope for the continuation of active cooperation, noting the leading role of the Polish delegation as one of the key partners in advancing the Belarusian agenda on the international platform.
Pavel Latushka provided detailed information on the current work of the Coordination Council delegation to PACE, as well as on documents adopted at the initiative of the Belarusian side in PACE and on amendments submitted by representatives of the democratic forces of Belarus.
Special attention was given to the discussion of the appointment of a new General Rapporteur on Belarus at PACE, to replace Polish Sejm deputy Ryszard Petru, whose mandate has concluded.
The leader of the faction "Latushka's Team and the Movement 'For Freedom'" also spoke about the activities of the Coordination Council, including preparations for the forthcoming elections to be held from 11 to 17 May of this year.
As Chair of the Committee on European Union Affairs of the Polish Sejm, Pavel Latushka presented the strategy of the United Transitional Cabinet and the majority of the Coordination Council on matters of engagement with the European Union. He emphasised the importance of preserving and strengthening support from the European Union, as well as continuing the policy of pressure on the regime with the aim of achieving systemic, rather than cosmetic, changes in Belarus.
During the meeting, information was presented on the ongoing repression by the Lukashenko regime against the Belarusian people both inside the country and beyond its borders.
The importance of continued support for Belarusian civil society, which remains a key factor in democratic change in Belarus, was separately underscored.
The parties confirmed their readiness for further strengthening of interaction and coordination of efforts at the international level in support of democratic transformation and the protection of human rights in Belarus.
