From the “Union programs” to the referendum: what will we get in the end?

It is already known that the meeting between Lukashenka and Putin, scheduled for November 4, will take place online.

And the issue of signing the 28 “Union programs” has quietly disappeared from the agenda of this meeting.

But the issue of the constitutional referendum remains on the agenda of the Belarusian regime.

Should we expect that Minsk has “fended off” deeper integration with Russia?

How may this affect the planned constitutional referendum?

What should be expected from the conference in Vienna, which will take place on November 22?

These and other questions are answered by Andrei Kazakevich, director of the Political Sphere Institute and senior researcher at Vytautas Magnus University.
