Belarusian authorities have offered to legalize the activities of the Union of Poles in Belarus (UPB), which has operated without official registration for many years. However, to do so, the current organization would likely have to be dissolved and a new one created – possibly under a different name. This was reported on September 8 by our colleagues at Centrum Europy TVP, citing an informed source.
