Poland in Sweden

Since the rigging of elections for the president of the Republic of Belarus on 9 August, 2020, thousands of Belarusian citizens have taken to the streets to protest against the election fraud as well as demanding the resignation of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenka. Events in Belarus are still hard to predict, but it is already clear that the country will never be the same again.

 

With us to join the discussion are: Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, Leader of Belarusian civil society; Kamil Kłysiński, Centre for Eastern Studies in Poland; Vytis Jurkonis, Freedom House office in Lithuania; and Martin Kragh, The Swedish Institute of International Affairs.

Opening speeches will be provided by Marcin Przydacz, Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland, and Dalius Čekuolis, Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania. For the full program, please see below.
