On September 15, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya met with Szymon Drej, director of the Museum of the Battle of Grunwald in Stębark and a historian. Also attending the meeting were Yury Mielashkevich, the initiator of the campaign to install the white-red-white flag at the Grunwald battlefield, and Tsikhanouskaya’s chief adviser Franak Viačorka.
Tsikhanouskaya thanked Drej for supporting the initiative aimed at making the participation of warriors from the territories of present-day Belarus in the Battle of Grunwald and the annual commemorative events more visible, reports Tsikhanouskaya’s Office.
“The Battle of Grunwald is one of the most important events in our history. It reminds us that Belarusian history is an integral part of European history,” Tsikhanouskaya said.
Tsikhanouskaya said cooperation with the museum would make the Belarusian presence at the Grunwald battlefield more visible and strengthen ties between Belarusians, Poles, Lithuanians and Ukrainians.
The sides agreed on long-term cooperation, the preparation of a Belarusian-language version of the audio guide, and the participation of representatives of Belarusian democratic forces in international museum events together with partners from Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine.
By the next anniversary of the battle in July 2027, the parties plan to expand the participation of the Belarusian community and Belarusian historical reenactors in events at the Grunwald battlefield.
The participants also discussed the possibility of installing a memorial sign at the battlefield dedicated to warriors from the territories of present-day Belarus and a flagpole bearing the white-red-white flag. The Grunwald battlefield has the status of a historic monument in Poland. The installation of new structures will require administrative procedures and approvals from cultural heritage protection authorities.
