Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya thanked Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš for the recent easing of visa restrictions for relatives of Belarusians living in the country. The meeting took place on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit in Dublin.
The politician expressed hope that the Czech authorities would continue taking measures to support Belarusians. She also praised the work of the Czech Foreign Ministry and its head, Petr Macinka, who supports Belarusians and recently visited the Office of Belarusian Democratic Forces.
During the meeting, the sides discussed the activities of the Office of Belarusian Democratic Forces in Prague, prospects for further cooperation with Czechia and the situation in the region.
“I am very grateful to Czechia, where people have a good understanding of our situation in Belarus. The Czechs themselves went through the transition from dictatorship to democracy. They do not need to be told why freedom and independence are so important to us. Czechia has been supporting Belarusians for years, and we greatly appreciate this principled position. A free Belarus is also in the interests of Czechia and the entire European Union,” Tsikhanouskaya said.
