Without waiting for the results, some assessments of international experts, national observers, we will assess their elections. Let it be on their conscience, in fact," said Igor Karpenko.

The CEC Chairman emphasized: "We were guided by our Constitution and conducted all the electoral procedures in accordance with our Belarusian legislation. International observers will also give their assessment. By the way, representatives of the missions will speak here today. In any case, our communication is interim, your reports say that the electoral process was carried out strictly in accordance with the electoral legislation.
