Top-up 15 mln of Action 61372 (Special measure 2021) Persistent public disapproval and international condemnation of the falsified Presidential elections in August 2020 have deeply polarised Belarus. The disproportionate repression of mass protests resulted in over 35,000 people arrested and more than 1000 political prisoners, many of whom risk several years of detention. Starting late 2020 incumbent authorities undertook systematic efforts to eliminate civic space entirely and disconnect Belarusian society. A large numbers of civil society organisations and independent media, including several partners in EU programmes, had to close down under the pretext to stop them from mobilising the public against the government. Fearing for their personal security and prosecution because of support to the opposition, thousands of civil society activists, media workers, private entrepreneurs, professionals, students, teachers, academics, and representatives of the cultural sector continue to leave Belarus. &nbsp;The EU responded with the rapid mobilisation of an immediate support package for the victims of the oppression and the provision of core support to independent media and digital outlets. In compliance to the Council Conclusions on Belarus, adopted on 12 October 2020, the EU has recalibrated its cooperation with Belarus. As financial and technical collaboration with central authorities halted, support directly benefitting Belarusian citizens was re-enforced. &nbsp;With no realistic perspective on a short-term political resolution to the current crisis, the foremost challenge is in the coordination of organising counter measures. It is necessary to bring together donors and implementers in several areas to ensure continuity of interventions in the most effective way.
