Belarus has been led by Alexander Lukashenka since 1994. Under Lukashenka's rule, economic and political reform has stalled and the government's human rights record has steadily deteriorated. Belarus is situated in the centre of Europe; it borders on Russia in the east, Ukraine in the south, Poland in the west, Lithuania and Latvia in the north. The main transit highways from the west to the east of Europe cross Belarus.
