The Belarusian leader took part in the workshop “Belarus and Belarusians, 2020+” at Vilnius University. She joined Belarusian and Lithuanian experts and politicians to discuss the situation in our country, as well as Belarus-Lithuania relations.
“Lukashenka’s and Putin’s regime will do all possible to destroy the Belarusian-Lithuanian friendship. We should look for what unites us and strengthen our cooperation.
I am grateful to Lithuania for its decision not to close borders for passenger traffic. And I fully endorse the Lithuanian government proposal to prolong the residence permits to three years, and issue foreigners’ passports to Belarusians who can’t get back home.
We understand that we are guests, and we came here temporarily. Because our goal is to win our country back and return home”, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya emphasized.
She also called on Lithuanians to support Belarusian institutions in exile and counter Lukashenka's disinformation.
