	Foreign relations of Belarus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The introduction of free trade between Russia and Belarus in mid-1995 led to a spectacular growth in bilateral trade, which was only temporarily reversed in the wake of the financial crisis of 1998.
		The Council of the European Union decided against Belarus in 1997: The PCA was not concluded, nor was its trade-related part; Belarusian membership in the Council of Europe was not supported; bilateral relations at the ministerial level were suspended and EU technical assistance programs were frozen.
		Acknowledging the lack of progress in relation to bilateral relations and the internal situation following the position adopted in 1997, the EU adopted a step-by-step approach in 1999, whereby sanctions would be gradually lifted upon fulfillment of the four benchmarks set by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.

		State manipulation turned Belarus’ elections into empty exercises: elections in 2004 were not free and fair, and produced a parliament with no opposition representatives.
		The legacy of “disappearances” of perceived opponents, for which the government refuses to pursue meaningful accountability, continues to taint the administration and to sour its foreign relations.
		Belarus finds itself largely isolated internationally for its record on human rights, while the government shows no sign of feeling compelled to address the causes of that isolation.
