Vasily Sakovich, former Belarus’ Ambassador to Moldova, presented his book “Belarusians in Moldova’s ethno-cultural space” in Chisinau. “I have been Belarus’ Ambassador to Moldova for about 10 years, and I have witnessed all processes that took place in Moldova; I have observed all of them and when my mandate ended I felt an urge to write a book about the Belarusians who lived and have once lived in Moldova”, mentioned Vasily Sakovich at the book launch. The diplomat said that he had gathered the information over the course of several years, but structured it only his last two years in Moldova. “The basic ideas of the book are that there have always been good relations between Moldovans and Belarusian, there was peace and understanding; Belarusians are a good, tolerant people, which have kind regards for all other people from this area”, the book’s author specified. The books talks about people who have lived and created in Moldova, who have invested part of their soul into the development of this state. “For me, this book is a new stage in my life, and for my position as Ambassador to Moldova, it is the end point of my mandate”, said Vasily Sakovich. It was mentioned at the book presentation that the author is not only a scientist, who has lived here and has been involved in all fields, but that Sakovich also had practical knowledge of how the two ethnicities coexist. The book describes the lives of about 400 Belarusian who have contributed to the development of the Republic of Moldova. Additionally, it contains various historic facts about Moldovans who have contributed to Belarus’ economic development.
