BISS senior analyst Dzianis Melyantsou on 21 March met with MEP Justas Paleckis, who was in Minsk, on a mission to prepare a report on the status of Belarusian-European relations.
Some of the issues addressed during the meeting included the findings of the BISS research studies and analyses focusing on Belarus’s relationship with the European Union, problems of development of the European Dialogue on Modernisation with Belarus and prospects for improvements in the relations between official Minsk and Brussels.
Mr. Paleckis said that the first version of the report would be submitted to the political groups of the European Parliament and the Foreign Affairs Committee as early as this April. Voting on the final version of the report will take place in autumn, ahead of the Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius.
