On July 31, the Coordination Council approved a resolution “On the Round Table for Overcoming the Political Crisis and Strengthening the Independence of the Republic of Belarus,” in which it supports the idea of a meeting between the structures of democratic forces and the de facto authorities of Belarus. What is the point of such a resolution when the other side does not want negotiations, Coordination Council spokesperson Artsiom Brukhan explained in the “Studio” program on Belsat TV.
