President of the European Parliament visits EHU
European Parliament President Mr. Jerzy Buzek met with students and lecturers of European Humanities University on the 2nd of October during an official visit to Lithuania. He emphatically called EHU students the “future leaders of Belarus”. Mr. Buzek also reaffirmed the European Parliament position towards the process of building democracy, human rights and free market economy across Europe, with a particular attention towards Belarus. The visit allowed students to pose questions on EU attitudes towards liberalization and democratization in Belarus, the interplay of relations between Belarus, Russia, and the EU and the outcome of the recent visit of Belarusian President Aliaksandr Lukashenko to Lithuania.
The EHU remains, even if at the distance, a “beacon of intellectual integrity” in the convoluted Bielorussian Higher Education landscape and has recently celebrated another important milestone: in the 27th of July the first BA graduates since the establishment of the University in Vilnius have received their diplomas in a ceremony whose keynote speaker was Dr. Valdas Adamkus, president of Lithuania.
