While Belarusian opposition supporters utter their dissatisfaction with mild sanctions against Lukashenka, the Washington Post has stepped even further and accused EU leadership of double standards for dictators:

    Even as Europe’s policymakers were stoking their outrage over Belarus’s tyrant, they were quietly preparing to approve a trade agreement with Central Asia’s Turkmenistan — home to Saparmurad Niyazov, or Turkmenbashi the Great, a ruler whose absolute power, cult of personality and repression of his people make Mr. Lukashenko look, well, Small.

Had Belarus possessed any valuable natural resources, maybe our leader would’ve been excused and welcomed in Brussels. I don’t know. But with all due respect, the current sanctions do not offer any leverage to democratization of Belarus. They look as a symbolic gesture, and not a real response.
On the other hand, this question is always difficult – what should be done? As far as I can see, consultations continue and the discourse Belarus is still open.
