Ongoing contact between European institutions and the Belarusian opposition seem to irritate the Belarusian leader to such an extent that he is ready to make changes to his pro-European agenda.
The difference between Eastern Europe and other parts of the world is the legendary lack of self-esteem. In spite of the obvious victory that Belorus had over its detractors, there is a persisten blindness to one's own worth. With the financial and economic systems in meltdown in the West, and the uncertain future ahead --- Belorus is a shining example that restraint in implementing liberal excesses paid off. Belorus has less unemployment, does not import food, and maintains still much of its exports in spite of the word-wide slump. The virulence of such "non-governmental" groups is not surprising. They are funded by foreign governments, regardless of the roundabout ways that the funds are managed.
