This week, the delegation of the Coordination Council of Belarus is taking part in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe session. The main task during the first days is to establish bilateral cooperation with all political groups of PACE.
The delegates have already held meetings with the SOC – Socialists, Democrats, and Greens, EPP/CD – the European People's Party group, EC/DA – the European Conservatives and Democratic Alliance group, ALDE – the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, and UEL – the United European Left group.
During these meetings, the Speaker of the Coordination Council and member of the “Latushka Team and Movement for Freedom” faction, Anzhalika Melnikava, emphasized the importance of democratic change in Belarus to ensure true regional security and achieve peace in the region. The Speaker also noted that the Coordination Council, as the representative body of democratic forces and civil society, will support the work of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in achieving this goal, using the tools available to PACE.
The leader of the “Latushka Team and Movement for Freedom” faction, Pavel Latushka, during his presentation, focused on the priority issue – assisting the member states of the Council of Europe and their parliaments in bringing Lukashenko to justice through the mechanisms of the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity committed by Lukashenko against the Belarusian people.
