MINSK, 23 September (BelTA) – Thanks to cooperation between the Belarusian and Russian prosecution services the problem of returning accounts receivable to Belarusian companies is being gradually resolved. The statement was made by Prosecutor General of Belarus Alexander Konyuk after the government conference held by the Belarus president to discuss the problem on 23 September, BelTA has learned.
Alexander Konyuk said that they had established cooperation with the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia and this cooperation had started producing results. Debtors are starting to return real money to Belarusian enterprises.
According to Alexander Konyuk, it is no accident that the prosecution service has been tasked with dealing with external accounts receivable. “On the one hand, heads of enterprises are to blame. Unfortunately, the current external accounts receivable involve a criminogenic, corruption component. This is why upon the instruction of the Belarus president the prosecution service is looking into the problem,” said the Prosecutor General.
Alexander Konyuk also pointed out that although the government conference chaired by the Belarus president had focused on the situation at Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ), the problem also exists at other enterprises that have very respectable sums in external accounts receivable. “This is why the President once again drew attention to the need to step up debt collection efforts. Unfortunately, the work entails criminal proceedings since there is no other way of taking away unfairly gained money from criminals,” explained the Prosecutor General.
