News & Events in Belarus

The issues concerned mainly the assessment of the presidential election by international observers and the electoral campaign itself. “Maybe you know international standards. I do not. I would like you to get me familiar with the standards we should comply with. It is a rhetoric question. I said more than once that we conduct our elections in line with the Constitution and the country’s legislation. We have laws and the Constitution which are recognized worldwide,” said the head of state.

Alexander Lukashenko said that he heard the assessment of those who take an open look at the country’s political process during the current election campaign. “They very positively assess not only the presidential election campaign, early voting, the organization of the process but also our electoral laws. For instance, some do not like early voting, but the United States, the stronghold of democracy, conduct early voting months ahead of the election day. Thus, before you start criticizing us, go and build up this process there first,” Alexander Lukashenko said.
