The book “Democratizing the Constitution of Belarus – Towards a Constitution for a New Belarus in a European Context” was presented in Strasbourg during Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s visit. The book reflects the joint work of Belarusian and Austrian experts on the draft Constitution of democratic Belarus.
The event was held during a symposium organized by the Permanent Representation of Austria to the Council of Europe. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya spoke at the opening, expressing gratitude to the authors and organizers – Thomas Buchsbaum, Katharina Pabel, and Anatol Liabedzka. The leader also thanked all the experts who contributed to the book, as well as Austria and the Council of Europe for their support of the Belarusian democratic movement.
Sviatlana announced that on December 9, a new package of draft laws on rights and freedoms will be presented in Brussels – another step towards a European, law-based Belarus.
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “The Constitution must serve the people, not the authorities. Let’s build the road to the future together – to a free, lawful, and European Belarus”.
