After new elections, Belarus will have good economic and interpersonal relations with Poland: Cichanouska

The leader of the Belarusian opposition, Sviatlana Cichanouska, assured that after the election of the new president of Belarus, the country will maintain good economic and interpersonal relations with Poland. She also estimated that ordinary people in Belarus already have "good contacts" with Poland. 

"The Polish authorities are very helpful to us, so our contacts with Poland after the elections, when we have a new president, will be very close. You are our closest neighbors, and we do not forget what you are doing for us," she said.

When asked about the statements of the Belarusian president, who announced that Belarus would collapse after his overthrow, and then Russia, the oppositionist assessed that he has been repeating it for 26 years and this propaganda somehow worked. 

“Many people believed that if Lukashenka left, everything would collapse and that's not true. We assure you that the new president will lift Belarus after the new elections," Cichanouska stressed.

She added that if necessary, she would sit down for talks with Lukashenka.
