Belarus President Aleksander Lukashenko said Sweden and Germany should be blamed for everything that goes wrong in his republic because he used these two countries as models when setting his political goals.
“When I was a young president still, I set up my political objective aimed at building a socially-oriented economy and I have named the countries that were examples for us. These were technology-rich Germany and the socially-oriented economy built by the Swedish model,” the Interfax news agency quoted Lukashenko as saying on Thursday.
“If we are doing something wrong we are not to blame, but rather you, because we have learnt from you,”
Lukashenko said when receiving credentials from newly-appointed Swedish ambassador.
