An interview with Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya on what could bring about the end of president Alexander Lukashenko’s regime
At the beginning of the year you moved from Vilnius in Lithuania to Warsaw in Poland. Has that proved to be a good move?
I spent five years in Lithuania and it became my second home. I was grateful to the Lithuanian government for its political and diplomatic support for our efforts for a democratic Belarus. The move to Warsaw was connected with changes in our security protocol. In hindsight, I would say it was a change for the better, many more Belarusians live in Poland and we can work even more intensively with various NGOs and initiatives.
