MINSK, 2 August (BelTA) – Mass media outlets should take an active part in covering the country’s harvest campaign, including its positive and negative aspects, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said during the nationwide teleconference held on 2 August to discuss the 2017 harvest campaign, BelTA has learned.
