Extractions: The 1994 constitution, controversially amended in 1996, allows for legislative power to be held by a bicameral National Assembly (Verchovny Soviet). This comprises: a 110-member House of Representatives, directly elected for a four-year term, and a 64-member Council of the Republic, of which eight members are presidential appointees and the remainder elected by local authorities. The President, who is directly elected for a five-year term, exercises executive power assisted by a Council of Ministers answerable to the National Assembly. Contact Addresses

Extractions: Prime Minister of Lithuania I am delighted to introduce to you Lithuania, already a fully-fledged member of the European Union and NATO.We have gone a long way towards our membership of the European Union and in doing this the support of the European countries was of great help to us. However, the doors of the European Union would have hardly opened for us had it not been for our own efforts and consistent reforms. Now, we enter through the doors proud of ourselves and of our countrys achievements. I remember the officials of the European Commission saying that the negotiations for this most recent wave of the EU enlargement contained three highly complicated issues - namely, Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, Kaliningrad transit, and the reunification of Cyprus. Today I can proudly say that two out of the three have been successfully resolved, and both of them are associated with Lithuania. The EU-Russia dialogue continues to further develop and build on the successful settlement of the issue of passenger transit to and from the Kaliningrad Region. We are delighted that we have managed to strike a compromise on the extension of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement as well as on the Joint Statement concerning the EU Enlargement. This proves that Lithuania, Russia, and the European Union can constructively settle issues that arise in the course of a rapidly developing dialogue.

Extractions: Belarus Belarus Although the government's stated goals during the first years of independence included promoting a market economy, normalizing monetary circulation, and lowering the country's dependence on monopoly suppliers, these goals were not met. Inflation and depreciation in the exchange rate stemmed from the government's compensation for decreased living standards and lower industrial output through subsidies (rather than changes in the country's economic structure and adoption of market reforms). The government's economic timidity was prompted not only by the wish to maintain the status quo but also by a fear of the social consequences. Years earlier, calls for political action did not stir the populace, but the populace reacted dramatically to sudden price increases. In April 1991, demonstrations occurred in Minsk, Orsha, and other cities, frightening the government into wage concessions, a slowdown of reforms, and promises not to neglect the "social protection net" so as to avoid a repeat of such economically motivated unrest. As of mid-1995, the government continued to look for easy solutions to its economic problems. It neglected privatization and price liberalization, instead continuing to increase minimum wages to offset minor price increases and to prop up outdated factories that piled up unwanted inventories.

Extractions: Human Rights Watch/Helsinki charged today that Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenka has reversed nearly all the advances in the field of human rights and rule of law that had marked the perestroika era and the early 1990s. In presenting Belarus: Crushing Civil Society today at a press conference in Minsk, Jonathan Fanton, chair of the Human Rights Watch/Helsinki advisory committee is calling on the Belarusian government to cease its relentless attacks on free expression and association. The 52-page report documents government assaults on civil society, that target primarily the media and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). After banning all public discussion from the state-owned media, the government is now driving all independent media outlets out of business. Throughout the last few years, it has closed two independent radios and a television station . It has marginalized the independent print media by misusing its monopoly on publishing houses and issuing arbitrary tax regulations. Human Rights Watch/Helsinki also details the harassment of NGOs through questionable tax audits and outrageous rent hikes for those NGOs housed in government-owned buildings. For example, as a result of an apparently politically motivated campaign against the Children of Chernobyl - a humanitarian organization which provides aid to victims of the Chernobyl disaster - the organization has had to stop its humanitarian support program to kindergartens, orphanages and the physically handicapped.

Extractions: Order News: Search E-Belarus.org: Mikhail Doroshevich , Marina Sokolova Major developments of recent years prove that the ICT sector consisting of various sub-sectors is expanding in Belarus. But in spite of adopted E-Belarus state programme the comprehensive e-governance strategy hasn't been worked out in Belarus as the programme is oriented generally to organizational and technological upgrading of the public administrations.At that, electronic service delivery and managerial efficiency are the dominant rationales. Issues of wide public participation in democratic process are not mentioned in the programme and the place of citizens and CSOs is not defined. At the same time enhancing political will and publicizing e-governance issues should become priorities together with telecommunications infrastructure, human capital within the government (skills and knowledge), existing and expected budgetary resources, e-business climate and public servants' readiness to change. Major developments of recent years prove that the ICT sector consisting of various sub-sectors (e.g., telecommunications, electronics, software, hardware, services, etc.) is expanding and infiltrating business, administration, education in Belarus.
