“The National Bank did a good job. In difficult times they did not fail us. Whatever one might think but they have done a lot for the country. That's why I urged you not to lose sight of Kallaur [Pavel Kallaur, ex-chairman of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus]. Reach out to him when needed. Whether you take his advice or not is up to you. But he does have his point of view; he is a good banker,” the Belarusian leader said.

 

“Time goes and we are bringing a new generation to power as I promised,” Aleksandr Lukashenko added.
