Poland is to mould EU countries’ attitude to Belarus :: Charter'97 :: News

The chairman of the National organization of Young Democrats of Poland (NO YDP (Mlodzi Demokraci)) Janek Artymowski is certain about that. At the press conference with Participation of the Young Democrats of Poland (youth branch of the Polish party Platforma Obywatelska (Citizens Platform)) Janek Artymowski underlined: “In Poland we not only have information about the events in Belarus, but the understanding of the real situation. That is why the important mission for Poland is the work in the EU for conducting a more resolute policy as concerns Belarus. At present the position of the EU towards Belarus is starting to change, and to a large extent owing to the EU enlargement and joining of the new Eastern European members”.

According to the NO YDP leader, the “representatives and leaders of the political parties of Belarus we have met are working professionally. They have started preparation for the elections in advance. The things we saw and heard here in Belarus to some extent contradict the information we sometimes receive in Poland. I mean articles stating that Belarusian opposition is divided and not united. We are sure that the procedure of the single candidate’s nomination is to be a success, and the uniting of the democratic forces to take place thoroughly. Such union has proven its effectiveness in Poland in the past, and recently in Ukraine”.
