“In February, on the 20th ... the Constitution will be submitted to a referendum,” Lukashenko said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

He added that the referendum will take place if "the war does not start."

“But this is from the realm of fantasy.

Therefore, I think that in February ... it will be possible to carry it out, ”Lukshenko said.

Earlier, he stated that the work on the preparation of amendments to the basic law of the state has entered the home stretch.

In early November, the Belarusian leader got acquainted with the revised draft constitution of the republic.

Lukashenko did not rule out that a wave of protests will take place in the republic before the referendum.
