Miejsce Białorusi i Białorusinów w programie Partnerstwa Wschodniego Unii Europejskiej

Polish accession to NATO (12 March 1999) and the European Union (1 May 2004) meant that the authorities in Warsaw have become part of international policy, the two structures of Western Europe and the United States. Belarus and began to approach closer to Russia, which cooled relations with Warsaw. In 2008, Sweden and Poland began to lay the foundations of the EU’s eastern pol-icy, hereinafter referred to as the Eastern Partnership. However, the violent actions of the regime of Alexander Lukashenko after the undemocratic presi-dential elections on 19 December 2010, resulted in further isolation of the Bela-rusian authorities. Violation of human rights is one of the main obstacles in the way of Belarus to establishing good relations with the European Union. Polish Politics and the European Union towards Belarus can be described as „democ-ratic crusade” of Western civilization.
