Lukashenko promises greater power for vice-premiers in new government

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko announced that vice-prime ministers will have significantly more influence in the upcoming government.

According to Report, speaking to BELTA, Lukashenko highlighted the major change in the government's structure, stating that the role of the vice-premiers would be elevated. "I want to stress the unique feature of the future government's operations, which I will insist on: the vice-prime ministers will hold much more weight.
