A
team of experts from Vienna
worked at the Minsk Office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe (OSCE) to probe Hans-Jochen Schmidt, head of the
mission, reported Belorussky Partizan with reference to RadioRacyja. The Web site quotes Syarhey Harankou, a driver for the
Minsk Office, as saying that OSCE Minsk Office allegedly paid unspecified fees
to Anton Shmyhau and Dzyanis Sidarenka, officials of Belarus' foreign ministry.
The allegations come days after the opposition group Malady Front
appealed to Dora Bakoyannis, chairperson-in-office of the OSCE,
over alleged flaws in the OSCE's assessment of a criminal case against
Vaukavysk dissidents
