An independent radio station broadcasting from Poland to neighbouring Belarus will be launched within weeks, Polish Prime Minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz has declared during a joint press conference with Alexander Milinkevich, the Belarus opposition's candidate in the March presidential election. In August Poland earmarked 237 euro to help set up the radio station.
Relations between Poland and the regime of long-time President Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus, its eastern neighbour, are highly strained. The authorities in Minsk last year accused the Union of Poles in Belarus of fomenting a revolution there. Warsaw intervened in the dispute, which led to a series of tit-for-tat expulsions of diplomats from the two countries.
