Lukashenko signed a decree on social support for certain categories of citizens

On April 15, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko signed Decree No. 149 "On Social Support for Certain Categories of Citizens," as reported to BELTA by the press service of the Head of State.

The document is adopted to prevent the restriction of pension rights of citizens permanently residing in Belarus.

The decree provides for the inclusion of periods of military service in the territories of the Latvian and Estonian SSRs, previously part of the USSR, in the length of service when assigning pensions in Belarus. This will allow for an increase in pension amounts for approximately 180 Belarusian citizens.
