"The presidential elections in Tajikistan are scheduled for October 11 this year," RIA Novosti quotes a message from the apparatus.

It is noted that this decision was made at a joint meeting of the two chambers of the country's parliament.

It is clarified that the date was proposed by the first vice-speaker of the lower house of parliament, Mahamadali Watanzoda.

Earlier, the World Bank allocated a $ 132 million grant to Tajikistan to expand cross-border trade and improve transport links.
