"EU plans to fund opposition to Belarus 'dictator'
MURDO MACLEOD
THE European Union is set to provide cash for opposition parties in the former Soviet republic of Belarus.
Western leaders fear that president Alexander Lukashenko, widely regarded as Europe's last dictator, will attempt to influence next year's presidential election in order to stop pro-Western or pro-reform candidates taking power.
The move comes in the wake of the peaceful democratic revolutions in neighbouring Ukraine and nearby Georgia, which both saw corrupt governments ousted."
