Warsaw Mayor Lech Kaczynski, who is also a leading candidate in the upcoming presidential election in Poland, said on 29 August that Warsaw will open a "Belarusian House" to host representatives of the Belarusian opposition and nongovernmental organizations as well as those members of the Union of Poles in Belarus (SPB) who do not support the SPB leadership elected last week.

 "Belarusian House is a working name," Marek Bucko, a former diplomat expelled from Minsk, explained to journalists. "It will be a conference center with a hotel. This house will allow us to organize seminars, meetings, and lectures.... I hope that it will also accommodate the editorial staff of an independent radio station that is going to broadcast to Belarus." Bucko did not say when the house will be opened but stressed that its establishment will be supported by the Warsaw mayoralty jointly with a number of foundations.
