MEPs urged not to recognize the results of the Belarusian elections*

On February 8, the European Parliament adopted an urgent resolution on Belarus, in which the deputies expressed, among other things, their position on the elections* in Belarus, which are to be held on February 25. The European deputies called on the EU and the international community not to recognize the results of the Belarusian elections to the House of Representatives and local Councils of Deputies due to the lack of transparency, freedom, and justice. 

The preamble of the document notes that democratic opposition parties do not have the opportunity to participate in the electoral campaign.

Earlier, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe stated in a resolution that it does not recognize the results of the elections* in Belarus.
