President tells whether international observers will be present at presidential elections

Belarus has never been against the presence of international observers during the elections in the country. This was stated by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko on September 19 at a meeting with the heads of electoral bodies of the CIS countries, reports BELTA.

"As for the CIS, we are always in favor of your representatives and you being at our elections. This is very important for us. Your friendly advice, remark or even criticism is taken seriously," Alexander Lukashenko said.

"Today we are thinking about what to do with the so-called foreign observers, because we know that they prepare documents in advance, which they will later announce and sign", the President noted.

"We think we will consult with you, among other things, on how to act in this situation. Of course, we would like them to see and be disappointed in the opinion with which they will come to us. But we cannot allow them to come again with their Talmuds and make the corresponding statement, which has already been prepared or which is not written by their own hand," the head of state stressed.
