Lukashenka meets Radziwiłłs

One of the representatives of the Radziwiłłs noted that their heart always belonged in Nyasvizh - the place they were forced to leave in 1939. The Belarusian leader invited them to come  again.

Alyaksandr Lukashenka presented a sash of Slutsk type to the newly-opened museum. He has also said to Minister of Culture Amatol Latushka that the price of museum tickets should not be high for Belarusians.  

Lukashenka: "You should not hunt for big money. Everything should be consequent. Otherwise, we will distract our own people. Those who will come here will pay any money - they will pay 12 euro to see it. But we need Belarusians to see it. And Belarusians will not pay 12 euro for it".

The castle and park ensemble  was visited by 173 thousand people in 2010, 210 thousands - last year and about 136 thousands - in the first half of 2012.

 By the way, the state leader visited Nyasvizh with his son Kolya.
