Revival of villages and small towns is one of priorities of state policy in Belarus

Revival of villages and small towns is one of the priorities of the state policy in Belarus, Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko stated at the meeting with representatives of the Russian mass media outlets. Alexander Lukashenko noted that the state accumulates funds for this purpose. Small and regional towns play host to all-republican festivals. The whole country prepares for them and due to joint effort these towns change for the better. For instance, the town of Bobruisk, which is preparing for the grain-growers’ festival Dazhynki-2006, has changed a lot. And gradually Belarusian towns start to look like the Europeans ones. The president also informed that huge funds are allocated for construction of large social facilities, for example, the National Library of Belarus. We attach great importance to brining order to the country, Alexander Lukashenko said. However, very often efforts of residents are enough to put their town in order. Russian journalists could see the results of this work – nice and well-kept towns and villages around Belarus.
