Here is what Ihar Lyalkou, representative of Tatsiana Karatkevich and a member of the Central Executive Committee in an advisory capacity, told Euroradio:
"The meeting was predictable. And so were its results. It was held on the pre-arranged scenario. After my speech about validity of the complaint, the heads of all the regional committees and the Minsk City Commission spoke telling how wonderful the election was conducted at their sites and how the results there correspond to what most observers saw."
