The Belarusian head of state noted that the session of the Supreme State Council is held on the eve of important domestic political events. For the first time in the history of Belarus, a single voting day will be held on February 25 this year. "Following the example of Russia, we have also constitutionally established a single voting day. On this day we will elect the members of Parliament, local councils (we have regional, district and village councils, as it was in Soviet times.). And on March 17, presidential elections will be held in Russia," said Alexander Lukashenko.
"The period is so difficult, but, as you can see, it passes calmly. I am sure we will approach these dates calmly and hold these events calmly," he said.
The President of Belarus also outlined important tasks and directions of development of the Union State. Import substitution, development of machine-building, agrarian sphere and removal of obstacles in logistics are the most important ones. The details of the session of the Supreme State Council are held in the next issues.
