The Belarusian side at the meeting was represented by Deputy Chairperson of the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus Olga Dovnar and Head of Industrial Statistics Department of the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus Aleksandr Snetkov.
The aim of the meeting was to summarize the results of the first five-year phase of the regional project and to discuss the second one.
