- As neighbors of Belarus, we appeal to the Belarusian authorities for full recognition and respect of fundamental democratic standards. We call for a halt to violence and for the respect of fundamental freedoms, human and civil rights, including the rights of national minorities and freedom of speech – wrote the Presidents of Poland and Lithuania in a statement regarding the elections in Belarus.

"We believe that dialogue always constitutes the best method for ensuring social development and discussion on reforms and political actions. We treat the sovereignty and independence of Belarus with the utmost respect and hope that conditions will arise for deepening cooperation with the society and state institutions of Belarus.

We are convinced that closer cooperation with the European Union is in Belarus's interest. We want the door for this cooperation to remain open and we remain ready to continue supporting Belarus on the path to deepening relations with the united European family."
