MINSK, 12 June (BelTA) – Public appeals should be addressed at early stages and should not reach the level of the Belarus President Administration, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with the leadership of the Belarus President Administration on 12 June, BelTA has learned.
One of the topics touched upon by the president during the event was public appeals. “In the ideal case, there should be none of them [such appeals]. At least, public appeals should not reach the level of the Belarus President Administration. They should be addressed locally,” the head of state said. “If they do reach, then in the course of addressing the matter special attention should be paid to analyzing the competence of the authorities that have failed to help people resolve the issue in the first place.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that he often sees how top officials visit the place following a public appeal and declare that the matter turns out to be outside their remit and that these issues should have been solved locally. “Why do you go there then, if you make such a statement? If you go to solve the matter, then it is your matter, too. You have made such a decision. And then think to yourself: who did not solve this issue, who did not repair the fence or paint it, for example. There can be different issues. Who promised natural gas supply and didn't deliver it in time?” the head of state said.

The president emphasized that the government should see and know what people say about it at home and abroad, what remarks they make. The Belarus President Administration should inform the head of state on every important matter. “Collect the information, bring it to the level of the president so that I can study it and, taking it into account, make decisions,” Aleksandr Lukashenko added.
