The West will not just be threatening Belarus with new sanctions, it will keep imposing them, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a meeting to discuss the bill to amend the banking laws on 7 February, BelTA has learned.
“Today I have signed the decree, prepared by a group of specialists headed by you, on the consideration of the applications from Belarusian citizens abroad regarding their possible violation of the law. This is exactly the issue we discussed the other day. I also looked at the composition [of the commission] and other things. If we did not include anything in the decree, the prosecutor general has enough power to engage the entire state apparatus, civil servants to solve this issue,” the head of state said.
