On June 8, Vitebsk /Olga Bogacheva - BELTA/. The creation of a political party based on the republican public association "Belaya Rus" is an urgent necessity. This opinion was expressed today by the Minister of Information of Belarus, a member of the republican council of the public association "Belaya Rus" Oleg Proleskovsky, speaking to the participants of the II reporting and election conference of the Vitebsk regional organization of the PA "Belaya Rus", BELTA correspondent reports. The minister emphasized that the issue of transformation into a party will be considered in the autumn at the republican congress of the organization. "I believe that such a party is needed and should emerge. "Belaya Rus" is ready for transformation, ready to become a political party," Oleg Proleskovsky stressed, expressing hope that such a decision will be made. "The main challenge at the new stage will be the transformation of "Belaya Rus" into a subject of public policy with all its attributes, the availability of experts in various fields of activity, the holding of discussions, the implementation of a unified active policy, etc.," said Oleg Proleskovsky. He recalled that our country lives within the framework of the Customs Union and the Single Economic Space.
