President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has demanded that more homes should be built in the near future. The President made the statement on November 6 during the state award ceremony.

In the near future we will have to build not 2-3 million square metres like we used to, not 5 million but 10 million square metres per annum. This is why the goals are tremendous,” said the head of state. He stated there are problems with construction companies. “In the nearest future we will address this shortcoming with severe requirements for construction companies and certainly relevant attention and a salary raise,” said the President.
