Estonian officials have often criticized Belarus multiple times for human rights violations and reluctance to adhere to democratic standards.

In early October 2017, a Belarusian delegation visited Estonia, led by First Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus Vasily Matyushevsky.

On October 24, 2022, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, the recognized winner of the 2020 Belarusian presidential election by EU countries, visited Tallinn, Estonia, upon the invitation of Estonian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Urmas Reinsalu.

During her visit, Tsikhanouskaya held important meetings with Estonian leaders, including President Alar Karis and Parliament Speaker Jüri Ratas, as well as university rectors.

As a gesture of support and friendship, Reinsalu ceremoniously presented her with a copy of the found archives of the Act of Recognition of Estonian Independence by the Belarusian People's Republic.

In response to the situation in Belarus, the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Estonia will appoint a diplomatic representative to Vilnius, Lithuania, who will work with democratic forces in BelaruEsonian President Alar Karis reaffirmed the country's support for Belarusian democratic forces and stressed the need to hold Alexander Lukashenko, the incumbent leader of Belarus, accountable for his actions.

Overall, the visit of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya to Tallinn highlighted Estonia's commitment to supporting democracy in Belarus and strengthening bilateral ties between the two nations.
