President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko convened a meeting today on ensuring the security of the election campaign, BelTA correspondent reports.

"It is clear that the elections have begun, early voting is underway, but it will be useful, taking into account the experience to date, to once again assess the current situation and, if necessary, develop additional measures to ensure security for the near future. The details of the situation are known to all of us, there is no need to repeat them. However, if there are new points, I ask the heads of departments to report and make appropriate proposals," said Alexander Lukashenko.

The President reiterated the task previously set for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General's Office: all those who insulted and intimidated civil servants, military personnel, members of election commissions, and employees of the power vertical must be brought to justice, as required by Belarusian laws and the Constitution. "We have enough resources to protect the state's people who are currently working for the country virtually free of charge, on a voluntary basis," the head of state emphasized.
