SHKLOV, 9 August (BelTA) – Rental housing will be built in Belarus where it is necessary. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko shared the relevant plans during a government conference held in Shklov on 9 August, BelTA has learned.
“If you need a house in some district, then you just need to prove that people will move into it,” the president said.
He remarked that he does not want to repeat the experience of building five so-called presidential houses in every agricultural enterprise as part of a government program. “Things will be different now. We will build to accommodate needs of enterprises. For example, we need to build a plant at MAZ in Minsk in order to make buses to meet strong demand. Then we will give you rental housing for the sake of this manufacturing project just like in Soviet times,” the Belarusian leader explained.
Aleksandr Lukashenko clarified that such rental housing should come with certain commitments, including on the part of heads of agricultural enterprises and companies. In other words, such houses will not be built for organizations for free. “The organization will have to buy it. If you cannot do it, well, we will look at options: deferral of payment, installment plans, and price adjustments. We have to find [an acceptable variant] so that the head of the enterprise would understand that it is not just a gift from heavens,” the head of state added.
