Prawno międzynarodowe mechanizmy oddziaływania Unii Europejskiej na politykę wewnętrzną i zewnętrzną Republiki Białorusi
The international-law-based mechanisms using by the European Union to affect Bielarusian domestic and foreign policy

Summary/Abstract: The main question asked in the article was if Brussels is able to make any positive change in relation with Minsk. Could the mechanisms of The EU’s foreign policy be more effective? Is The Community able to lead the positive dialogue with Lukashenka? Domestic and foreign policy lead by The Republic of Belarus cannot be accept by The EU. Brussels use kinds of legal and non – legal mechanisms (like agreements, negotiations or economic power) to keep on dialogue with Lukashenko’s administration. Both of The EU and The Republic of Belarus have some interests in developing cooperation, but it seems impossible to normalize and stabilize the involvement. One of the biggest problems is that these relationship is based on deprecated agreement, which were signed in 1989 between The European Communities and the USSR. In 1995 there were signed new document – Partnership and cooperation agreement (PCA). The Communities entered into the similar agreements with Russia, Ukraine and some other countries of The Commonwealth of Independent States. Despite the fact the agreement was signed, it had never gone into effect. The EU also uses power solutions to affect The Republic of Belarus. The restrictive measures against Minsk were firstly apply in 1995. It was connected with Lukashena’s non – democratic standards of changing the Belarusian constitution. The sanctions were using some other times, but they mostly brought deterioration in relations between The European Union and The Republic of Belarus.
