The comments, made in a Victory Day speech, follow signs of support given by the United States and the European Union to the opposition following Lukashenka's reelection in a March poll deemed fraudulent by the West.
Also today, police detained three opposition activists handing out prodemocracy pamphlets to World War II veterans in Minsk.
