Conference: “Regional Cooperation in the Field of Energy Security: Challenges and Perspectives for Belarus", Minsk

The Energy Club is going to hold its first session on Energy Security in Crown Plaza, Minsk. This event is part of a larger programme of the Club: meetings are scheduled to take place quarterly and carried out as one-day events, gathering local independent and government experts on energy, as well as foreign specialists in the field. The initiative received financial support from the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA).

The Energy Club is the project of the Office for Democratic Belarus, the Belarusian Institute for Strategic Studies, and the Foundation for Legal Technologies Development that grew out of the seminar ‘EU Energy Policy: Sharing Experience’ that was organized by these groups under the patronage of the European Commission Delegation in Minsk on 6-7 June 2009 and proved to be a great success. The seminar confirmed both the need for and the opportunity to pursue a constructive, focused, fair and open exchange of opinions on key issues in economic and social development of Belarus and on how Belarus’ rapprochement with the European Union could serve the country’s development goals.

The Conference is being held under the auspices of the European Commission office in Minsk and is jointly organized by the Office for Democratic Belarus (Brussels), BISS and FLDT in cooperation with the Nashe Mnenie portal and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
