August 8, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> The United Transitional Cabinet (UTC) proposes \u201cnational dialogue to settle the country\u2019s deep political and social crisis peacefully,\u201d UTC deputy head Pavie\u0142 \u0141atu\u0161ka told the Coordination Council in Warsaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the UTC agreed on this issue yesterday. The round-table discussion would involve \u201call political and social forces,\u201d the former diplomat said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiven historical precedents and dictator \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s unconstructive stance, the Cabinet believes that holding the round table is possible during a power transition in Belarus,\u201d the politician stated. \u201cTo ensure transparency and strengthen the legitimacy of this process, we suggest using international mediators\u2014\u2026 partner countries and key international organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the round table\u2019s format, the regime should first meet basic requirements to confirm its willingness to negotiate, the UTC believes, according to \u0141atu\u0161ka. These requirements are \u201cthe end of repression and the release of political prisoners,\u201d the politician said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
