According to the president, the Constitutional Court is supposed to play a big role in the materialization of the decisions of the Third All-Belarus People’s Congress and in reaching the main goal of the five-year period – building strong and flourishing Belarus. The president is sure that the members of the Constitutional Court, among whom are highly qualified lawyers enjoying high respect in the country, will cope with the tasks. Addressing Stanislav Danilyuk, the president noted: “Be allegiant to the oath, the principles of professional honour, judicial duty and responsibility before the Belarusian people.
