Alyaksandr Lukashenka continues to replenish the ranks of officials closest to him with people from the security sector and thus increases the weight of the security sector in state administration. This is how an expert from the BIPART research center, Natalia Rabava , commented on the appointment of now former Chief of the General Staff, Pavel Muraveika, as Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration. On air at Studio Belsat, she shared her opinion on what can be expected from such a reshuffle.
