It is time to improve the implementation of decisions. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko made the statement as he made several personnel decisions.
The President stressed that from now on the matter will continue enjoying closest attention.

      “This way of doing things will continue regardless of whether we have elections on our hands or not. No need to adjust your decisions with that factor in mind. You have to remember that it is an exam and all of us will have to sit this exam. But we are not going to change our decisions to suit the election. I am getting proposals, including proposals from some opposition figures, in favor of holding the election in March instead of November 2015 because the approval rating of the incumbent president is nearly 90%. It would be deception of our voters and the population. We cannot do it. Moreover, we cannot expose ourselves to criticism like that.
      We will come out and say frankly what we have managed to achieve. If we haven’t managed to do something, we will do it. Belarusians will be free to cast their votes. They will be free to elect another person. Everything must be honest. It is what we should bear in mind instead of changing our policy bearing the elections in mind. Life goes on the way it is intended. We should base our policy on honesty and justice. We need nothing else. Honesty and justice are not purely psychological notions now but economic ones”.
