Tsihanovskaya's office

reported that the official representatives of the Belarusian minority ,

Kristina Shiyanok

and

Alena Tsihanovych

, together with the Association of Belarusian Students of the Czech Republic, are meeting with the leadership of Czech universities where there are "critical specialties" that Belarusians were forbidden to study at in the Czech Republic due to the war in Ukraine.

Meetings have already taken place with the rectors of the largest technical university in the Czech Republic, ČVUT, and the largest Czech chemical university, VŠCHT.

They agreed that universities would accept letters of guarantee signed by representatives of the minority.

In order to receive such a letter, students undergo verification - that they are not employees of law enforcement agencies and are not going to work for the benefit of Lukashenka's or Putin's regimes.

The education of Belarusian men and women at the oldest technical university in Europe has a long tradition.

In 1920–1930, 150 to 200 Belarusian students studied at the Czech Technical University.

Since then, ChTU has always been open to Belarusians, and after the protests in Belarus in 2020, it was one of the first to help persecuted Belarusian students and is going to continue to do so.
