Belarus Headlines 14

EU commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner: We need stronger signals from Minsk European Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighbourhood Policy Benita Ferrero-Waldner (Austria) is always brightly elegant. Her colour palette knows all shades – turquoise, white, carmine, dusky pink. Commissioner’s friendly smile has earned her the nickname Ferrero-Kuesschen ("Ferrero Kiss"), after the famous chocolate pralines. Born on the same day with philosophers Sřren Kierkegaard and Karl Marx, she was the first female Foreign Minister of Austria. Office for a Democratic Belarus: Mrs. Ferrero-Waldner, do you share the view voiced by some that Brussels and Washington have done more for the Belarusian people than Belarusian opposition parties and movements? Benita Ferrero-Waldner: All actors involved are doing their best to help Belarus out of its current self-isolation. At the moment we finance an independent media project which broadcasts in Belarusian and Russian on radio, TV and on the internet to help widen the resources of information available to Belarusian people. We also support Belarusian students at the European Humanity University in exile in Vilnius but also in Poland and Ukraine. We further contribute in a very tangible manner to efforts to tackle the consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe. We support the efforts in the social and educational field, and the efforts to develop civil society.
