“Vladimir Vladimirovich worked for many years in responsible government positions, was a true patriot of Belarus and earned high respect not only in Belarus, but also far beyond its borders.
The bright memory of him will forever remain in the hearts of colleagues, friends and relatives," BelTA quotes Golovchenko.
Earlier, BelTA, citing Belarusian Foreign Ministry spokesman Anatoly Glaz, reported that Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei had died.
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has already expressed his condolences on the death of Makei.
