«I believe that EU policy is not wrong, but ineffective, — said Alexander Milinkevich. — I do not see a positive alternative to today’s dialogue. And if someone says that the dialogue must be stopped, I would like to hear what policies he would propose. It is necessary to improve dialogue and search tools to make the authorities take steps to liberalization.
According to policy, » we have to look for new, more efficient ways of cooperation in matters of independence. » «Authorities will not fight for independence. Authorities would fight only for the power. Now, perhaps, a threat of loss of political independence is not big , but there is a danger of loss of economic independence», — says Alexander Milinkevich.
The leader of the Movement «For Freedom» confident that «without economic security, there will be no political independence, no human rights, no Belarusian language».
