OREANDA-NEWS. July 27, 2009. The Belarusian construction sector should be fully compliant with the European standards by 1 January 2010, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said before the government’s report on the implementation of his instructions on 27 July.

“It will be a real breakthrough for the country if this target is implemented,” Alexander Lukashenko stressed. “We pin great hopes on our construction industry as it is a locomotive that would pull the economy out of the crisis. The construction, however, should be of good quality and reasonably priced,” the head of state added.

The Belarusian leader asked for the detailed information on the implementation of his instructions regarding the investment projects and, in particular, on the housing development in Makayonka street.
