As the role of the external actors in the Belarus Crisis has become one of the main focus of media recently, it’s high time for our take on the ongoing events in Belarus. Listen to the fireside chat discussion between Bartlomiej Kot – Deputy Program Director of WSF and Pavel Havlicek – Czech expert on Eastern Europe, analyst in AMO.CZ and Rethink CEE Fellow of German Marshall Fund Brussels Office. Pavel – a frequent commentator for the Czech media – delivers his points of view on issues such as the EU role in the crisis, Russia’s interest/or lack of interest to support Lukashenko, and the V4 actions to support Belarus.
The discussion is a part of our preparation for the next edition of Warsaw Security Forum, as we are keeping track of the ongoing events via a set of virtually based events. #Road2WSF
