Gathering in Prague supports Belorussian effort to join EU, NATO

Several dozen people took part in a gathering in Prague on Sunday in order to express solidarity with the Belarusian opposition and show support for its efforts for the country to join the EU and NATO. The demonstrators carried the red-and-white Belarusian flags and banners criticising the authoritarian regime of President Alexander Lukashenko. A large meeting of the Belarusian opposition supporters calling for the country's integration in Europe was held in the country's capital Minsk on Sunday. Similar events in support of the Belarusian opposition also took place in other European cities, including Brussels.
