We spoke with the Swedish politicians about the opening the Embassy of Sweden in Minsk, support of the independent media in Belarus, ways to release of the political prisoners and changes in election laws. We have also agreed on concrete steps for cooperation between the BPF and the Moderate Party, which is our good friend and main partner in Sweden.
