He is planning to meet representatives of the delegation of members of the Lithuanian Seimas formed to travel to Belarus, Foreign Minister Linas Linkevičius, and promises to participate in the debate at the Center for Eastern European Studies.
The meeting of P.Latuška with Sviatlana Cichanouskaja, a former candidate for the presidency of Belarus who currently lives in Lithuania, is also planned.
S. Cichanouskaja herself intends to address the United Nations Security Council remotely from Vilnius on Friday.
P.Latuška was Minister of Culture of Belarus in 2009-2012, after which he served as Ambassador to France, when he returned to Minsk last year and was appointed director of the Janka Kupala National Academic Theater.
S.Latuška was removed from this post in mid-August because he supported the position of the theater staff due to rigged elections.
He then became a member of the Presidium of the Coordinating Council. The Council, initiated by Chichanouskaya, should help Belarus to peacefully replace Alexander Lukashenko’s regime.
Before coming to Vilnius, P.Latuška participated in the Economic Forum in Poland.
Lukashenko said Tuesday that he believed Lataska had “crossed the red line” when he “moved” to the Coordination Council. He said the opposition would have to “answer by law.”
Belarus has been protesting for more than three weeks since the August 9 presidential elections, which were won by authoritarian leader Lukashenko, who has ruled the country since 1994. The opposition and Western countries consider these elections to be rigged.
