“The Belarusian People's Congress is the topic of the day now. Is this something new? No, this will be the sixth edition of the congress. It always produced results. All those who wanted a dialogue could meet and discuss the things they wanted at these dialogue platforms on the ground. We have summed up their proposals and will forward them to the Belarusian People's Congress. We have faced criticism regarding the essence and agenda of the congress... This criticism is coming from these fugitives, first of all. They ran away and started talking nonsense from there,” the head of state said.
