This decision is included in the revision of the National Youth Policy Basic Principles law. The news office of the national leader announced that the corresponding documents were signed by Alexander Lukashenko, the President of Belarus. It is noteworthy that the document signed by the Belarusian leader details the methods of providing support to public youth organizations in the country.
