Cichano\u016dskaja also raised the issue of expanding the individual sanctions list. Estonia has already put officials, enforcers, and regime collaborators on its own national list. The parties discussed how to stretch that individual list into other EU countries to prevent the regime&#8217;s officials from getting Schengen visas,&#8221; the adviser said.<\/p>\n<p> Koplimaa thanked Cichano\u016dskaja and her team for the substantive discussion of &#8220;how we can cooperate and support Belarus&#8217; democratic forces, especially on political prisoners and holding the regime accountable for its crimes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Koplimaa began his work in Vilnius, where Cichano\u016dskaja&#8217;s office is based, in February. His country does not recognize Alaksandr \u0141uka\u0161enka as Belarus\u2019 lawfully elected president and shares the EU\u2019s sanctions policy against Minsk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 8, BPN. \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja and Marko Koplimaa, Estonia&#8217;s envoy for the Belarusian democratic forces, met to discuss holding the Belarusian regime accountable for crimes against humanity through the instruments of the International Criminal Court (ICC), an adviser to Cichano\u016dskaja told BPN.
