MINSK, 17 November (BelTA) – Russia has never been a foreign country to me, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said at the press conference for the Russian regional mass media on 17 November, BelTA has learned.

“Moscow has never been and will never be a foreign place to me and to any other Belarusian,” the Belarusian leader said.

The President emphasized that a lot has been already done for the creation of the Union State. “For example, you arrived in Belarus, and no one stopped you on the border, you did not have to show you passports and get visas. There is an absolutely free movement of people, workforce, and capital between our countries. Any Russian can travel all over Belarus, and any Belarusian can go to any place in Russia and feel at home,” Alexander Lukashenko said.

The head of state remarked that in the process of formation of the Union State virtually all Russians willing to visit Belarus and virtually all Belarusians willing to visit Russia realized that they are living in the common land. “It means a lot,” Alexander Lukashenko stated.
