Belarusian President Criticizes Construction Sector

At a February 28 government conference, President Lukashenka severely criticized the performance of the construction sector, Belapan and RFE/RL's Belarus Service reported. He described the development of the sector as an utter failure. He admitted that the sector performed rather well last year, but there is still a "huge plethora of problems that are not being solved." Lukashenka noted "pricing problems" at all stages of construction, a lack of funds for modernization programs, and a shortage of skilled labor. He warned the Council of Ministers and top regional officials that 2008 should see a dramatic improvement in the performance of all sectors of the economy, and primarily the construction sector. "There are massive complaints from the population about problems in the construction sector," Lukashenka said. "We cannot be satisfied with either the pace or quality or price of construction in Belarus." AM
