“The OSCE can establish a contact platform and start with a round table of experts with the participation of the EU, the Democratic Forces of Belarus and the Coordination Council, as well as [Aliaksandro] Representatives of the Lukashenko regime, “said the opposition leader.
For the sixth month in a row, Belarus has faced massive protests over the presidential elections on August 9, which Lukashenko has been declared the winner since 1994.
The opposition and Western democracies claim that the elections were rigged and that the winner was seen as political rookie Chichanouskaya, who replaced her imprisoned husband in the fight for the presidency.
The Opposition Coordination Council was established on the initiative of S. Cichanouskaja, who left Lithuania after the elections.
The protesters are demanding the resignation of Lukashenko, the release of political prisoners and new elections.
