1 марта 2018

Topical issues were discussed at the meeting of the President with the Deputy Prime Minister. A new bridge between Zhitkovichi and Turov should be built this year. This task was set by the Head of State. At the same time, it is necessary to organize a passage to Turov and Zhitkovichi. The President also says that he intends to visit the area in spring and monitor the fulfillment of the instructions.

A separate discussion was devoted to the problems in the forestry system. Recently, the corresponding minister was released from his post for failing to take effective measures to fight corruption. According to the vice-premier, a number of strong candidates have already been selected for this post. The personnel decision will be made in the near future.

The meeting also discussed the issues of the agro-industrial complex, including the supply of Belarusian milk to Russia.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the Belarusian side has already held several meetings at the sites of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Government of Russia. Approaches to the solution of the problem have been found.

Last week Russia decided to impose a ban on the supply of Belarusian dairy raw materials. Experts associate such actions with an oversupply in the Russian market of import analogues from far abroad.
