Pace rapporteur on Belarus Andrea Rigoni: There is no neutral thinking on the situation in Belarus Interview with PACE special rapporteur on Belarus (series: Face to face with Europe) Italian deputy of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Andrea Rigoni was appointed Rapporteur on Belarus in the Political Affairs Committee in February 2007. Since then he has had several meetings with Belarusian officials in Rome and Strasbourg. Office for a Democratic Belarus: Mr.Rigoni, you seem to be the first Rapporteur on the situation in Belarus with whom the Belarusian officials are ready to have a regular dialogue. Your colleagues Andres Herkel (CoE) and Adrian Severin (UN) have never been able to visit Belarus. What makes you different? Andrea Rigoni: I think I have an open approach, namely I would like to know the overall situation of Belarus, without any prejudices. I am more focused on the positive outcomes concerning the future of democracy, respect of human rights and the rule of law.
