Alexander Lukashenko hopes that Serbia will help him to organize this meeting

MINSK, November 20 /TASS/. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko told Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic at a meeting on Friday that he would like to see the heads of republics of the former Yugoslavia in Minsk in 2016.

The meeting took place ahead of laying down a time capsule to mark the beginning of construction of a Minsk-Mir experimental multi-functional complex, which is to become one of Europe’s biggest financial centres in future. The Serbian side is to invest about $3 billion in its construction. "Prior to the ceremony, the heads of state had met each other informally to discuss prospects for organizing a meeting of the heads of republics of the former Yugoslavia in Belarus in 2016," the presidential press service said.
