President is actively threatened, but he is calm

Alyaksandr Lukashenka's attitude to reports about attempts at his life is calm. He said it answering a journalist’s question during his visit to Mir, informs BelTA. The state leader was reminded about the video of some member of Russian special troops published on the Internet. He mentioned the possibility of physical elimination of the Belarusian President. Lukashenka noted that such threats could be applied not only to Presidents in the modern world. According to Lukashenka, he has been receiving threats regularly for 10 years – “they keep mentioning some bullets, shells and so on”. However, the President is “absolutely calm”.

The Belarusian leader recalled the incident when his car was fired at before the election in 1994. “Most likely, they wanted to scare me. They would have killed me if they wanted to”, said the President.
