"Recent elections held in Belarus can be described as anything but free and fair. Stalin’s notorious principle that it is not important who receives the votes, but who counts the votes, is still very much respected in Belarus. The votes were mostly counted out of the field of view of the observers, thus the OSCE election observation misson, for example, was compelled not to recognise the elections.
Lukashenka’s hypocrisy in his recent courting of the West is unmistakable. He has made promises on the nature of the elections that he has been unable to keep – the rights of numerous election observers were violated by depriving them of their right to oversee the election procedures fully. We should not disregard this severe breach from the ideals of democratic elections. No European Union sanctions should be lifted before an evident regime transition has commenced."@en1
