Tsikhanouskaya to Attend European Political Community Summit

Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya will attend the European Political Community summit, which will take place in Ireland.

“In my meetings with European leaders and international partners, I will present our key priorities. These include ensuring that Belarus is addressed during peace talks, countering Russian hybrid threats and threats to Belarusian sovereignty, strengthening support for Ukraine, and preserving European unity. I’ll also ask our partners to maintain a principled sanctions policy toward the Lukashenka regime and keep working to secure the release of every political prisoner,” Tsikhanouskaya said on X, outlining her plans.

The European Political Community is an intergovernmental forum established for political and strategic discussions on the future of Europe. It was proposed by French President Emmanuel Macron in May 2022. It brings together countries across the European continent, with the exception of Belarus and Russia. Previous EPC summits have been held in the Czech Republic, Moldova, Spain, the United Kingdom, Hungary, Albania and Denmark.

One EPC meeting has already taken place this year, in Armenia. The summit in Ireland will be held during Ireland’s presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya regularly attends EPC meetings.
