Hundreds of Belarusians came today to bid farewell to Aliaksandr Milinkevich. The Polish authorities also showed respect for the Belarusian public figure. An exceptional gesture, given that Milinkevich was a foreigner: Warsaw designated the capital's main cathedral as the farewell venue, and Powązki Military Cemetery, the resting place for distinguished people, as the burial site.

"Aliaksandr will definitely return to his homeland, home. The time will come," wrote Inna Kuley — Aliaksandr Milinkevich's widow and his loyal associate in the struggle for the liberation of Belarus — in a Facebook comment on the eve of the funeral.
