“Our first session will consider personnel issues in the first place. The chairperson, the presidium of the Belarusian People’s Congress will be elected. Maybe we will manage to make appointments to the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court, and the Central Election Commission. All these decisions have been transferred from the president to the level of the Belarusian People's Congress. The judicial power gets certain independence, which means we are moving along the democratic path. This is, however, not to the liking of our self-exiled opposition, nor our opponents and enemies. They could have said about it,” the head of state said.
