Polish-Belarusian border relations have changed significantly over the past 5 years. Several factors can be identified to explain the changes, among them: Lukashenko’s deepening political regime in Belarus, migration pressure at the border, Belarus’ military cooperation with Russia during the war in Ukraine and the decisions of the Polish authorities in relation to these factors. An inverted model of sustainable development (SD) will be used for the analysis. Using the three pillars of SD – social, economic and environmental – the adverse changes that have taken place on the Polish-Belarusian border in a short period of time will be presented and analysed.
