In the near future, the Government will present a report on its work in H1, and a draft national budget 2009 will be considered. Therefore, before discussing big national issues there is a need to focus on the most urgent regional issues. Wellbeing of the Belarusians, the rate of economic growth and the social and political situation in the country depend in large part on how well regional issues are being tackled, said President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at today’s meeting on the most urgent issues faced by Belarusian regions.
