Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya addressed the Coordination Council:
“I expect that the Coordination Council will become a truly representative body of Belarusian civil society organizations and political parties. To achieve this, we need to hold elections for the next composition of the Coordination Council. Pavel Liber and the New Belarus platform are willing to develop all the necessary technical tools for this.
Elections in the Coordination Council could become an alternative to the regime’s elections in the fake parliament. We must not participate in Lukashenka's elections as they are illegal, but we must use them as an opportunity to talk about our alternative.
I would also like to see more transparency in the work of the Coordination Council. Belarusians should know what issues the Coordination Council is discussing and what decisions it is making. It should include the wider public and expert community in its discussions”.
