02/06/2004 (Agence Europe) - The AEGEE (European Students Forum) organised a conference on 2 June in Minsk on the theme of "Mediating Europe: By, Between and Beyond". A press statement explained that this was the third conference in the AEGEE project framework EU & Europe, which focuses on relations between the enlarged EU and its new neighbours in the East - Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova. AEGEE team leader in Minsk, Dzmitri Korenko underlined in a press statement that the association sought to hold a conference in Minsk "inspite of the fact that Belarus has been officially removed from the list of European Neighbourhood policies". Issues tackled included: (notably by students from different universities in Minsk and other cities in Belarus) culture, identity and mobility.
