MINSK, 19 August (BelTA) – Nobody in the country is going to settle a score with representatives of the private sector. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement as he met with Tax and Duties Minister Sergei Nalivaiko and Chairman of the State Control Committee Vasily Gerasimovich on 19 August, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “I would like businessmen to hear me saying that nobody is going to settle a score with them. Some made mistakes. Some went astray. Some misunderstood some things. It is necessary to make things clear for them. I am even ready to do it at my own level if you find an appropriate form. But we should welcome those, who honestly worked in Belarus, and those, who would like to start working here, as our people, who create value for the nation and the state. Overreactions are out of the question. I don't see any overreactions and I want none in the future.”
“One thing needs to be understood: the state and the people are everything, all of us should work for the sake of it. If someone fails to understand it, it is their problem,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.
