Will dollars be accepted at roadside cafés?

Officials from the Ministry of Sport and Tourism would like to allow roadside cafes to accept dollars for their services. It is explained by the fact that there are very few currency exchange offices along Belarusian highways. Foreigners travelling across Belarus usually cannot have a snack at roadside cafes because they cannot exchange dollars for Belarusian roubles. Instead of leaving money in the country tourists take it away and remain dissatisfied with the quality of roadside service.

According to “Komsomolskaya Pravda in Belarus”, the National Bank is ready to consider the idea of the Ministry of Sport soon.
