In 2004 a referendum was held to decide whether President Lukashenko could stand for a third term - the result, condemned as "fraudulent" by the EU gave a resounding "Yes".
2004. gadā tika noorganizēts referendums, lai izlemtu, vai prezidents Lukašenko drīkst pretendēt uz prezidenta pilnvaru trešo termiņu; referenduma rezultāts, ko ES nosodīja kā "krāpniecisku", bija viennozīmīgs "jā".
