Today, the Maltese government is hosting an official visit by the Leader and Coordination Council of Belarus, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. Malta’s Minister for Foreign Affairs met the Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya this morning in Spinol Palace, Saint Julian’s. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya is regularly meeting foreign leaders and dignitaries in order to consolidate international recognition for the opposition government that she leads.
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya won the 2020 Belarusian presidential election after her husband, Syarhei Tsikhanouski, the leader of the opposition, was jailed. Polls and election results were changed by the ruling regime in order to prevent her official victory. Her husband is still in jail and for more than a year the ruling regime has prevent them from communicating between each other. The Maltese government is calling for his release from jail along with all political prisoners.
So far, the Maltese government has not met or held any officials meetings with the incumbent Belurasian regime.
