lpv:translated text	"Mr President, will a Cold War gust and the expulsion of ambassadors lead to a return to dialogue? The authorities in Minsk can still choose the sort of relationship they want to have with the European Union. However, it is regrettable that recently, they seem to be turning more and more into a dead end of isolationism. This means that once again, there will be no choice in the forthcoming parliamentary elections in Belarus. Minsk could revive relations with the European Union by freeing and rehabilitating all political prisoners, and this would not mean giving in to EU pressure, but would be a step towards implementing fundamental human rights in the country. I believe that both Belarus’ partners in Euronest and Russia should encourage Belarus to take such action. The EU does not want to worsen relations, which have already hit rock bottom, so that ordinary people in the EU and Belarus do not suffer. There are no insurmountable arguments that would prevent European Union countries from cooperating with their neighbour Belarus. The fate of that country will be decided in Belarus itself and we should therefore welcome the increased activity of the National Platform of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum. Recently, members of the opposition and journalists were prevented from leaving the country and such cases are becoming more frequent. I believe that the European Union should draw attention to such things and require Minsk to also implement freedom of movement, which is one of the fundamental rules of democracy."@en1
