As Interfax reports with reference to the press service of the head of state, the document orders the Central Commission on Elections and Referendums to hold the elections to the local councils and make sure that the electoral law is observed during the elections.
The governmental bodies and other institutions should prepare and hold the elections within the deadlines designated by the Electoral Code of Belarus, the document says.
Besides, the decree obliges the Council of Ministers of Belarus to finance preparation and holding the elections to the local councils within the funds form the national budget provided for this purpose.
As charter97.org has reported earlier, all electoral campaigns in Belarus held since 1996 are recognized unfree and unfair by the international community. On this assumption, Lukashenka is not considered legitimate since 1999. Nevertheless, as the result of the 2004 referendum unrecognized by the international community, he authorised himself to be re-elected an unlimited number of times. CEC head Lidziya Yarmoshyna has been put on the list of restricted to enter the EU countries and US for rigging the results of elections and referendums.
