Vacationers and tourists will thank us for it," said the Belarusian leader.
"Everyone knows your famous resorts with mineral waters: Pyatigorsk, Kislovodsk, Essentuki, which are in great demand, including among Belarusians (we also know and remember it from the Soviet times). We are also ready to contribute to the development of the industry," said the head of state.
At the end of the meeting, the governor, commented on the topic: "We stronly support the idea. Now we are in the process of talking. We talked about next May. We have Azimut company based at Mineralnye Vody airport, and we will try to speed it all up."
