Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and the United Transitional Cabinet Representative for Foreign Affairs, Valery Kavaleuski, met with the European Commissioner for Home Affairs, Ylva Johansson.
The Belarusian leader thanked her for the expert assistance in developing the new Belarusian passport and bringing it in line with international standards. Valery Kavaleuski discussed further plans, such as issuing samples, establishing a manufacturing division for mass production, and a campaign for international recognition of the document.
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya also proposed to launch bilateral consultations. The joint efforts of the Cabinet and the European Commission experts should result in recommendations for EU countries suggesting measures to simplify the legalization of stay for Belarusians abroad. Commissioner Johansson accepted the proposal.
