Over the past years, there has been some progress in EU-Belarus relations.

The bilateral relationship will be strengthened through the EU-Belarus Partnership Priorities, which are currently being negotiated. This will set the strategic framework for cooperation in the coming years. Tangible steps taken by Belarus to respect universal freedoms, the rule of law, and human rights, including the freedoms of speech, expression and of media, and labour rights, will remain fundamental criteria for shaping the EU’s policy towards Belarus.

On 9 August 2020, presidential elections took place in the Republic of Belarus. Credible reports from domestic observers show that the process did not meet the international standards expected of a participating state of the OSCE (Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe).

This infoclip shows images from drones, new systems of warfare, helicopter and drone views of the Lithuania-Belarus border and Romania border. In light of the incidents in which Russian drones and aircraft violated both Polish and Estonian airspace in recent weeks and after drones of unidentified origin caused disturbances at and around civilian airports and military bases in Denmark – events that the Danish authorities have referred to as “concerted hybrid attacks –, the European Union commits to strengthening the EU’s defence industry, promoting joint procurement, and ensuring a credible deterrent against potential aggressors.
