Tikhanovskaya's speech in the format of a video message was announced third - after the speech of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet and the UN Special Rapporteur for Belarus Anais Marin.

Tikhanovskaya is presented as an opposition candidate in the presidential elections in Belarus.

As noted, an urgent discussion on the situation in Belarus is being held at the suggestion of Germany, speaking on behalf of the EU.

In early September, Tikhanovskaya asked the UN to send an observer mission to Belarus. 

As UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres noted, the situation in Belarus can be resolved only by the Belarusians themselves through dialogue.
