BNR100 Consortium received 604883 euros in 2022–2023. Its 2022 report mentions gathering information for “Belarusian Hajun”

The Lithuanian organisation BNR100 Consortium received 604883 euros over two years, 2022 and 2023: 152073 euros in 2022 and 452810 euros in 2023. These figures are given by Siarhei Petrukhin. In an analytical note based on documents from the Lithuanian registry, he points out that the organisation's 2022 report lists gathering analytical information for "Belarusian Hajun" among its projects. The Belarusian authorities have designated this project "extremist".

The organisation was registered on 15 April 2022. According to the Lithuanian registry, its expenses were 152073 euros in 2022 and 452810 euros in 2023. Pre-tax profit in 2022 was negative: minus 2518 euros; in 2023 it was 0 euros. Equity in both years was minus 2468 euros.

Separately, according to non-state Belarusian outlets, on 19 September 2023 the Office of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya received a report from the audit firm MOORE Mackonis on a financial review. The request for the audit was sent to the firm in January 2023. The firm stated that it is independent of the organisation under review. It analysed the Office's financial documents and reports from the start of its registration to 31 December 2022, and assessed its internal control mechanisms and accounting methods.

BNR100 Consortium's expenses in 2023 rose by 300737 euros, or 198%, compared with 2022. The organisation's liabilities, meaning payments and other debts, grew over the same period from 2252 euros to 42893 euros, an increase of 40641 euros, or 1805%.

According to non-state Belarusian outlets, the audit firm found no violations or distortions in the Tsikhanouskaya Office's documents. The review concerned the Office specifically: there is no information about an audit of BNR100 Consortium. The law does not require such institutions to undergo an audit: the criteria are set out in Article 24 of the Lithuanian law on reporting by institutions.

A statement published together with the audit report says that Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya is the legitimate representative of Belarusians based on the results of the 2020 election. According to numerous testimonies and studies cited by non-state Belarusian outlets, more than half of voters cast their ballots for her in the first round. These outlets write that after the election she became a symbol of democratic choice and continues to advocate for free elections, an end to repression and the independence of Belarus. The same outlets assert that the international community regards her as the leader of Belarusian democratic forces, and that the EU, the US and the Council of Europe maintain a dialogue with her.
