Belarusian president prohibited forest workers to quit their jobs until mill modernization is finished

Minsk, December 04. Belarusian president Aleksandr Lukashenko paid a visit to Borisovdrev mill and made a regulation to prohibit all the workers in the industry to quit their jobs until modernization of the state holding BelLesBumProm is finished.
