A model for regions, a statement on guest workers, amnesty, and a rethinking of Chernobyl. The President's week in review
The working schedule of the President of Belarus is always very eventful. Alexander Lukashenko holds meetings and working sessions on the most pressing issues of the country's development, regularly visits regions, pays foreign visits and receives foreign guests himself, communicates with journalists, signs decrees and laws. And even when there are no public events, it does not mean that the head of state is not working.
However, even during his leisure time, whether it's a hockey practice or chopping wood, Alexander Lukashenko always finds an occasion for another assignment. As he likes to say, one must always proceed from life.
The "President's Week" project is for those who want to keep pace with the head of state, stay informed about the most relevant statements and decisions of the Belarusian leader.
It can be said that the entire working week of the head of state was dedicated to regional development issues, with a focus on the eastern regions of the country. These are also usually the most problematic ones. On Monday, in the urban-type settlement of Kopys, they discussed the development of small settlements, and the next day in Shklov, the focus was on creating a model at the district level. Everywhere, Alexander Lukashenko emphasizes the development of the production sector, maintaining discipline and order, and creating conditions for people's comfortable lives, including the construction of rental housing.
On Friday, the state of affairs in the Gomel region was discussed during a report on the development of territories affected by the Chernobyl disaster. On the same day, an important personnel decision was made concerning the Vitebsk region. Sergey Levkovich, the new First Deputy Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, previously worked as an assistant
of the President in this region. So the scope of work is more than clear, and the Vitebsk region itself will face a serious test in the near future – after the necessary checks, a comprehensive meeting will be held at the Presidential level. But other eastern regions should not relax either, because they have many common problems.
