The inspections of the Belarusian enterprises were previously scheduled on February. However, the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance cancelled them, as it explained, to avoid provocations. Exactly at that time Lukashenka stated there was a necessity to start a criminal case against head of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Sergey Dankvert for “causing damage to the country”.
