In his turn, Barsik the Cat obliged to get across to other little friends of people the message about the humane mission of Uladzimir Nyaklyaeu.

“No matter what the result of this election would be, everything which has my signature on it will remain unbreakable,” Nyaklyaeu said, commenting on the document’s signing.
