MINSK, 22 May (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has appointed Vladimir Pertsov First Deputy Head of the Belarus President Administration, BelTA has learned.
Addressing Head of the Belarus President Administration Dmitry Krutoi, the president said: "Please re-distribute responsibilities before we hold a meeting to review the work of the President Administration."

The head of state stressed that another deputy head of the President Administration might be appointed as Natalya Petkevich has been promoted to a new position. "But the head of the [President] Administration says that he does not need more deputies. Let's leave it for later: we will determine at the meeting whether it is necessary or not. We must also keep in mind that the deputy heads of the Administration are also a valuable resource for the future, as they receive good on-the-job training. Therefore, having four deputies instead of three may not be so costly for us. Please, look into this matter and make a decision. You are experienced people; you know what you need and what you do not. Whatever you decide is fine," Aleksandr Lukashenko stated.
