Another meeting will take place next week to discuss another package of proposals,” Viktor Margelov noted.
He stated that the entrepreneurs are also actively involved in the drafting of the 2017 Belarus National Business Platform. “The document presents our vision of the key issues in a systematic manner,” Viktor Margelov said.
