Lukashenka is confused by step-by step strategy of Europe but is open to cooperation :: Charter'97 :: News

Lukashenka also mentioned the “over bureaucratic “European machine”. The bureaucracy is hard and inert, this machine is moving in the direction and, as the folklore goes, if the cock doesn’t peck them they won’t turn to another direction”. However, according to Lukashenka, in terms of the energy security and energy resources deliveries through Belarus to the European countries, the importance of our country to Europe in the power engineering sphere is obvious. ”I am absolutely sure of that”, Alyaksandr Lukashenka said.

In cooperation with European Union the head of the state considers it important to concentrate the attention at the issues of the energy security. ”When the Europeans are starting proposing a so-called step-by-step strategy to us which is biased to the political sphere ,say, that our legislation is wrong and so on , we answer that we are not having any subjects for cooperation. Or have the Europeans lost their attention to such extent that they do not see the major problems?”, the President said.

.Alyaksandr Lukashenka stressed that at present Belarus plays the important role in making the barrier against the drug trafficking, weapons smuggling.”We are doing here much for the EU, including its energy security”.
