Three more citizens announced their readiness to run for presidency in Belarus

This week is the last one for submission of documents to register candidates' nominating groups for the presidential elections that are scheduled for October 11.

Presidential ambitions have been announced on the part of economist Viktar Tsiareshchanka, Yury Radzkou - the director of Tsar-miod, and construction businessman from Minsk Uladzislau Tsitovich.

The PhD in Economics Viktar Tsiareshchanka is going to compete for the top post for the fourth time. Tsiareshchanka participated in the presidential campaigns of 1994, 2001 and 2010, but only once - in 2010 - was he registered as a candidate. According to the CEC, he then received 1.19% of the votes.

According to the politician, he made this decision long ago, and the reason was the state of the Belarusian economy.
Tsiareshchanka also said that he has common tasks with the opposition.

Yury Radzkou, the director of Tsar-miod, the author of the international project World of Honey and Health, the organizer of honey trade fairs was born on April 12, 1976. He grew up in an orphanage. His decision to run for president has to do with promotion of healthy lifestyle.

"You know the state the nation is today: more than a million suffer from alcohol addiction, it is a very serious problem," said Mr Radzkou.

The entrepreneur Uladzislau Tsitovich is 39 years old. He claims that everything he does is based on his civic position and that he is not supported either by the opposition or by the authorities.
"My nominating group includes friends from school, university, colleagues."

But the businessman is not sure whether he will be able to collect 100 thousand signatures.

"In 2012, during the parliamentary elections, I visited around 6,000 apartments, where I could collect only 600 signatures. Other members of my team could not collect more than 50 signatures," Nasha Niva reports.

Now Tsitovich continues to recruit people in the nominating group.

Let us recall that this week is the last one for submission of documents to register candidates' nominating groups for the presidential elections that are scheduled for October 11.
