“I am not making any constitution for myself. With the new constitution, I will no longer work with you as president. So don’t worry, bear it calmly,” the agency quotes the words of the Belarusian leader.

The president also said that he would never allow that, “when adopting a new constitution, someone falsified or then someone fabricated elections under the new constitution.”

“Even if I know that this is not what I wanted. Why? Because the Belarusian people must go through what they must go through. It's better now, without war. It’s worse if they throw this war at us,” Lukashenko noted.

Earlier, he stated that the draft of the updated Constitution would be submitted for public discussion at the beginning of 2021. As the head of state specified, the third edition is already being prepared, since the two previous ones did not suit him.

According to Lukashenko, the new Basic Law should reflect a common vision of the future of Belarus. He stressed that the Belarusian people will decide what the new constitution will be.
