Lukashenko Confirms Readiness To Hold Referendum On Belarus Constitution

Belarus President Alexandr Lukashenko confirmed his readiness to hold a constitutional referendum in the republic.

There is a referendum ahead of us. we will have to hold it, to persuade the people, although we won’t get out of our way. we will simply tell the people what changes will come because of the amendment of the constitution, so that we would not be accused of clinging to the power so much that our hands went blue, as I often say, and tweak this constitution for ourselves," Lukashenko said, appointing the heads of local administrations Monday, according to BelTA.
