On October 3, 2017 EAST Center Andrei Yeliseyeu presented his study’s results at the GLOBSEC Policy Institute, Bratislava. The presentation on the re-export of embargoed western products to Russia through Belarus gathered local researchers and diplomats.
Although it is an open secret that Belarus keeps its doors ajar for re-export of embargoed Western products to Russia, so far no systematic analysis of this phenomenon has been made. Andrei Yeliseyeu’s research gives a comprehensive review of Belarus’ trade in embargoed products since the sanctions were introduced. The study was delivered as part of Andrei Yeliseyeu’s Think Visegrad fellowship at the GLOSEC Policy Institute from late August to early October 2017.
