Half of these funds will be paid to the Austrian company that will run the machines. Belarusian enterprises cannot do so because they do not have such competencies such production was not previously in the former Soviet space. “The Austrian company is a leader in this field. They ensure that we will receive what build the plant,” — said the head of “Bellesbumproma” Yury Nazarov.
