FOR REASONS 1.4 (B) AND (D)
1. (U) Mindaugas Kacerauskas, head of MFA's Belarus, Ukraine
and Moldova Division told us February 22 that Lithuania will
host the March 17-18 EU Commission meeting on Belarus. The
event sponsors, Lithuania's MFA and the EU Commission's
Directorate of External Relations, plan to bring together
governmental and non-governmental representatives from the
EU, Canada, and the United States to discuss developing
democracy and coordinating assistance in Belarus.
2. (C) Comment: MFA officials criticize what they
characterize as the EU's preference for humanitarian and
social assistance projects. Lithuania will use the meeting
to focus international efforts on its preferred path to
change in Belarus -- the unabashed promotion of democracy.
