Sviatlana Tsikahouskaya, with Austrian assistance, is trying to involve the Kremlin in negotiations on Belarus. The repressive agenda of the authorities constrain the activities of Civil Society and political organisations.
The political emigrant movement seeks to motivate Western capitals regarding initiation and mediation of negotiations with the Belarusian leadership, with Kremlin participation.
