The former Soviet republic has been convulsed by unprecedented demonstrations against President Alexander Lukashenko since he was returned to power in a disputed 9 August election and launched a brutal crackdown.
Ms Tikhanovskaya met EU foreign ministers in Brussels and urged them to sanction Mr Lukashenko but, despite repeated statements condemning the veteran strongman and warning of measures, after 44 days the bloc has yet to act.
"Sanctions are very important in our fight, because sanctions is part of pressure that will force the so-called authorities to start dialogue with us," she told reporters.
