MINSK, September 24 – RIA Novosti. Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei said that Minsk will take its decision on the ongoing referendums on accession to the Russian Federation in the interests of his country.
The head of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “We know Russia. No one can predict exactly what will happen tomorrow.
