The current context and the future of relations with Belarus present a challenge to the foreign policy of the European Union. Some gestures from Minsk justify a resumption of some relations. However, it is clear that the energy factor, in the current context, plays a significant role in driving this process. This is understandable. Realism is an integral part of foreign policy. However, realism cannot, need not and should not be divorced from values and strategy. The promotion of democracy in Belarus is a question both of values and of strategy. This perception of the medium- and long-term European interest must be central in this new phase of the relationship. Otherwise, we will produce a future dependency in which values come second to short-term strategies, with reduced success."@en1
