Belarus refuses to import newsprint in order to save millions

Alyaksandr Lukashenka has claimed that Belarus will no longer import newsprint. According to him, the country used to buy 40 thousand tons of it and millions of dollars used to be spent on it. The newsprint plant in Shklou will provide Belarus with domestic newsprint. Lukashenka said it during the opening of the enterprise today.

The leader of the state admitted that the construction of the Shklou plant had been connected with many problems which had led to a 5-month delay.
