April 22, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has told the newly appointed minister of natural resources, Siarhiej Ma\u015blak, “to dig and look for oil,” his press office reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We need you to make everyone work in this direction,” he said, noting a lack of competition in oil exploration and production in Belarus in an apparent reference to the state-run Bie\u0142aru\u015bnafta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 “We didn’t come up with the idea [that] there should be competition,” \u0141uka\u0161enka added. “There should be more opinions, more experiences and so on.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One month earlier, the Belarusian leader held a government conference on oil exploration. “If we had five million tons of oil today, instead of about two million, we would be a rich state,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
