The coalition was formed by the following parties and political youth organizations:
- Belarusian Social Democratic Party (People's Assembly) (Bielaruskaja Sacyjal-Demakratyčnaja Partyja - Nardonaja Hramada)
- Belarusian Liberal Party of Freedom and Progress (PFP) (Bielaruskaja Liberalnaja Partyja Svabody i Prahresu)
The European Coalition became part of the wider United Democratic Forces of Belarus which in October 2005 elected Alaksandar Milinkievič as their candidate for the 2006 Presidential Election.
