Lithuanian observer: order reigns in Belarus, including during elections

The Chairman of the International Forum of Good Neighbourhood, Edikas Jagelavicius, has been accredited by Belarus’ Central Election Commission as an independent observer from the Republic of Lithuania. He is well acquainted with the republic, and, prior to the elections, he held many meetings countrywide, including with the Belarusian party leaders.

“I do not think I will see anything new while observing the elections. After all, I know perfectly well that the order which I appreciate reigns Belarus. I am sure that everything should be in order. While observing these elections, I believe that everything will be fine with you. You have order in this area – in the field of the electoral process – as well,” the Lithuanian observer shared his opinion with sb.by.

Mr. Jagelavicius added that he understood why Belarus had not invited OSCE observers. “I am a representative of Lithuania, and I perfectly see what all these European structures are doing, and how they are even literally preparing for war. With this in view, at war as at war – so decisions should be made that are beneficial to your country,” he stated.
