5 out of 24 Ministries' websites available in Belarusian

The Constitution provides equal rights for both state languages. In reality, even the Ministries do not stick to this law. For instance, there is no Belarusian version on the website of the Ministry of Agriculture.

English versions can be found on 17 out of 24 websites belonging to the Ministries. However, English versions are not updated regularly.   

Only 5 out of the 24 websites have Belarusian versions. And it is the main language of only one website –  the website of the Ministry of Culture. I did not find the Russian and English versions there. The Ministry says that the downtime is temporary.

In general, all the Ministries' websites are alike. In Euroradio's opinion, the websites of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Transport and Economy have the best design. The website of the Ministry of Sport can be noted for its vividness and the website of the Ministry of Forestry - for language diversity. It is available in three languages - Russian, English and German.
