Restoration of Chernobyl regions demands more money than construction of agro towns

The restoration of the Chernobyl-affected regions will demand more funds than construction of agro towns. “Yet this is the Belarusian fate and the most important thing is to met the targets,” Alexander Lukashenko declared today during a meeting with dwellers of Syrod village of the Kalinkovichi region. “I realize very well that a lot of mistakes had been done in the post-Chernobyl years and not one decade will be needed to improve the situation. It turned out that it is not so easy to resettle people to other places. Many of them failed to adopt and want to go back,” the president emphasized. Alexander Lukashenko declared that “we cannot allow people to settle where it is prohibited to live. Yet we do our utmost to revive some territories and the program is quite extended,” he added.
