Warsaw - Representatives from some 40 countries met Wednesday in Polish capital Warsaw to raise money for Belarus' opposition in the wake of a crackdown on anti-government demonstrators.
The meeting, organized by Poland, includes government officials and activists from the European Union, the United States, Canada and Eastern Europe.
The aim is to get pledges of money to support the Belarusian opposition, which has been under pressure since President Aleksander Lukashenko won re-election in December in what was widely regarded as a rigged vote.
'Belarusian society has confirmed its European aspirations and the readiness to build democracy,' Poland's Interior Ministry said in statement. 'It is now the international community's responsibility to respond to that message.'
Participating nations were to discuss financial aid to civil society as well as exchanges and scholarships for youth kicked out of Belarusian schools.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslav Sikorski highlighted his country's leading role in supporting Belarusian democracy.
'There is no country doing more for Belarus than Poland,' Sikorski told TVP1 Wednesday, citing Poland's support for independent Belarusian media and a scholarship programme.
EU ministers on Tuesday reinstated a suspended travel ban on Lukashenko and other top Belarusian officials. The US has also announced new travel and financial sanctions.
Lukashenko last month accused Poland and Germany of planning a coup against him and ordering their secret services to attempt to remove him from power.
