“Thank you again for your patience, for your work. For the help and support that you have always provided not only to me, but also to the country. During the pre-election period, everyone takes an exam. I once came up with a good formula: not only the incumbent president, but also all of us need to take an exam in front of our people,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko.
