Vladimir Pertsov appointed deputy head of Belarus President Administration

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has appointed Vladimir Pertsov deputy head of the Belarus President Administration, BelTA has learned.

Before the new appointment, Vladimir Pertsov worked as the information minister.

“Ideological work is coming to the fore today. Hence the decision to transfer you to the Presidential Administration to supervise the mass media sector in the country. When appointing the new deputy head of the Presidential Administration in charge of economic matters (you probably followed it), I told him that we need to build a kind of hierarchy. There are many good specialists in ministries, government agencies, in the government, so the deputy head of the Presidential Administration should act as a point man in economic matters. In the same way, we need to put everything in order in mass media, in ideological work and the whole work should be coordinated by the deputy head of the Presidential Administration. Maybe, there will be some kind of commission under his leadership to provide consultations and to respond in a timely manner,” the head of state said.
