Ironclad system must be established in the agricultural industry of Vitebsk Oblast by 1 January, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a meeting in Vitebsk on 24 October., BelTA has learned.
“I did not come to Vitebsk Oblast to intimidate you. We have been working together for 30 years, you know my methods. Since you did not understand me and deceived me, screws will be tightened to the extreme,” the Belarusian leader said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko advised a scheme for different levels: "After today's meeting, the chairmen of the district executive committees should summon the chief specialists and managers and convey the message, the things we discussed today. They are given until 7 November (you have no more time) to establish ironclad order in the agricultural enterprises. They [the managers and specialists] should then gather farm machinery operators, milkmaids, and others. By 1 January, your enterprises must be tidied up to perfection.”
If there is a shortage of personnel in some enterprises, the president suggested seeking support from other organizations. “Separatists will come and do some work and help things done,” he said.
“That's it, gentlemen. The time of foolishness is over," Aleksandr Lukashenko warned.
