Belarus not to buy combines and newsprint abroad

Belarusian newspapers will start using domestic newsprint starting from 2008. The paper plant in Shklou will start functioning in the middle of December.
The state has been building it for several years. A lot of money has been allocated for it. The first director of the enterprise was arrested for power abuse.

It is reported that the plant is being built according to high technologies. However, specialists from Austria, Finland and Italy had to be hired because of the lack of Belarusian engineers.

The Shklou enterprise will meet all the needs of Belarusian printed editions, reports ONT.
