Vaitovich reminds government about nation's intellectual potential

The former president of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Alexander Vaitovich, has released his analytical review of the state of affairs in the Belarusian science and ways for reform. He filed this document with the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences, the legislature and the government. In the view of Vaitovich, in conditions of gradual transition of the Belarus's economy to the world market prices for energy resources, the role of science and scientists will inrease greatly.

He said that keeping silent about the problems and preventing open debates would do more harm to the national interests of this country. Vaitovich called on the authorities to take a better use of the intellectual potential of the nation, according to Belapan news agency.
