Swedish Prime Minister Writes to Belarus Opposition
For the first time, a Swedish prime minister has written an official letter to a foreign opposition leader.
Prime Minister Goran Persson has written to the head of the Belarus opposition Aliaksandr Milinkevich who visited Sweden recently - maintaining that Stockholm continues to condemn the imprisonment of another opposition leader in Belarus and the harrassment of the opposition there.
The prime minister adds that Sweden plans to provide education for those critical Belarus students thrown out of university.
He also says he is in close contact with neighboring Poland and with Finland as the rotating president of the European Union - following developments in Belarus.
The EU has frozen assets and set up visa restrictions for high-ranking members of the regime in Belarus - labled the last dictatorship in Eastern Europe.
