Landfill cleanup, sewage problems, employment of Latvian citizens. What other issues did citizens raise during the personal reception with Alexander Subbotin?
Citizens approached the Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee, Alexander Subbotin, with complex issues, sometimes requiring serious investigation.
Public figures from Minsk came to a personal reception with the head of the region. They assist citizens of Latvia in finding employment who wish to obtain permanent residency in Belarus. As the visitors explained, the majority choose the Vitebsk region. These are people of various professions, including blue-collar and agricultural workers, as well as doctors and teachers. Sometimes, when seeking employment, citizens of Latvia encounter misunderstanding and distrust from employers. They are also poorly informed about where to turn.
Boris Efremov, Chairman of the Committee for Labor, Employment, and Social Protection of the Regional Executive Committee, provided specific figures: 206 citizens of Latvia are employed in the Vitebsk region. The majority are in Vitebsk, as well as in the western regions of the oblast. Many vacancies, especially in the agro-industrial sector, involve the provision of housing. All this information is publicly available and can be found by visiting official websites.
