Summary/Abstract: One of the significant problems of the effectiveness of transformations in Belarus is the inconsistency of actions and strategies of democratic agents inside the country and external strategies of work with Belarus. The policy of the European Union in relation to Belarus takes into account the views of civil society and the political opposition only to a small extent. This situation is not due to the reluctance of EU and European Union member states to include Belarusians in the process of making political decisions. The launch of the European Dialogue on Modernization (since March 2012), the practice of the Civil Society Forum of the Eastern Partnership, the invitation of representatives of the political opposition in the status of observers to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Eastern Partnership EURONEST, regular consultations with civil society on the priorities of development programs and many other facts speak rather to the contrary . The tasks of coordinating strategies and taking into account the opinions of Belarusian civil society and the political opposition cannot be solved by European politicians for other reasons. Firstly, due to the lack of a unified strategy of the Belarusian democratic forces, and secondly, due to the total pluralism of opinions within Belarus.
