Russia has put Belarus opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya on its wanted list on "a criminal charge", Russia's interior ministry says.
Ms Tikhanovskaya stood against long-term President Alexander Lukashenko in August's disputed election, which was widely seen as fraudulent.
However Russia's President Vladimir Putin is backing Mr Lukashenko.
The opposition says Mr Lukashenko must quit. But he says they are Western "puppets" trying to overthrow him.
Ms Tikhanovskaya has been visiting Berlin to discuss the crisis with Chancellor Angela Merkel and other German officials.
EU sanctions now target 40 Belarus officials, but not Mr Lukashenko himself.

What is the charge against Ms Tikhanovskaya?
Russia's interior ministry did not give details of the charge against Ms Tikhanovskaya.
But Russia's Tass news agency reported that she was on the wanted list in Belarus and the Belarusian warrant against her would also be carried out in Russia according to agreements between the two countries.
However she was not on an international wanted list, a source told Tass.
Ms Tikhanovskaya was forced to go into exile in Lithuania after receiving threats following the disputed vote. pg slot
She only stepped in to challenge Mr Lukashenko for the presidency after her husband, a popular blogger, was barred from running and sent to jail.
Ms Tikhanovskaya has repeatedly appealed to the international community to put pressure on Mr Lukashenko so that a democratic transition can be launched by negotiation.
