Lukashenko discusses harvesting, personnel issues with vice premier

Progress in harvesting and personnel issues in the Agriculture and Food Ministry were the main points of Deputy Prime Minister Leonid Zayats’ report to Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko, BelTA has learned.

“The number one question today is the situation in the fields, progress in harvesting. The second question is about personnel. You had to suggest a candidate for the position of the agriculture minister this week. I would like to hear your suggestions. In other words, today we will hash out personnel and harvesting issues. I will try to travel [to the regions] in the near future. I want to see the western part of the country. Grodno Oblast is your area of responsibility. We might also have a look at Brest Oblast and review the performance of the Agriculture and Food Ministry at large,” said the head of state.

As BelTA reported earlier, it was announced at the recent conference call on harvesting that Agriculture and Food Minister Igor Brylo would become President's Aide in Vitebsk Oblast.
