President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko believes that Russia and Belarus will acquire greater understanding under Russia’s new Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov. “He is a man of strong will and I believe that if our Governments and Prime Ministers agree on something, these agreements will be implemented,” the President said when delivering a speech at the harvesting festival Dazhinki 2007 in Rechitsa on September 22. Alexander Lukashenko added that Viktor Zubkov “is a clever, talented, lettered and understandable economist”. At the same time, the President doubted that there will be any radical changes in the relations between Belarus and Russia.
