A. Lukashenko sees great prospects for the development of private business in Belarus

May 13, Beshenkovichi /Tatyana Polezhay - BELTA/. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko sees great prospects for the development of private business in the country. He stated this today during a working trip to the Vitebsk region, a BELTA correspondent reports. "Only sick people can say that the President does not need private entrepreneurs," Alexander Lukashenko noted. Addressing the head of the Belarusian-Russian joint limited liability company "Vitkonprodukt" Vladimir Nekrashevich, the President said: "What drives you? It's your life, your bread. My job is only to ensure the rights of a person, the head of a holding company, and all people. I dream of dealing only with human rights, to ensure a normal salary and so that no one can come and say: you know, I like this - give it to me, as it happens with our neighbors." Alexander Lukashenko added that "we don't seem to have this." "Yes, they don't like us, because they feel that we are competitors, and they will strangle us in all directions," said the head of state. At the same time, he believes that the main result is that "there are queues for Belarusian products." Speaking about the enterprise he visited, the President positively assessed the work of the manager. "No one will say that we don't have private entrepreneurs in agriculture," the President added. /To be continued/. -0-
