Regional forum held in Brest

13 октября 2020

The dialogue platform was opened today in Brest. The initiator of the forum was the City Executive Committee. Members of the society, university professors, and experts were invited to the meeting. Everyone could express their proposals on political, state, and social topics. The purpose of the dialogue is to identify important problems and find ways to solve them together. Such a forum was held in Brest today for the first time.

Alexander Shpakovsky, director of the non-governmental analytical center "Actual Concept": "Several neighboring states use the experience of public councils and chambers quite successfully. In my opinion, Belarus should also take a closer look at this. I do not exclude that it is here, where the future of the public structures are being created. They will subsequently act as a communicator between the authorities and ordinary citizens."

Svetlana Tsyuga, assistant to the deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus: "People come to the reception of citizens first of all with their socio-economic issues: the arrangement of territories, courtyards, work of transport and several other issues related, for example, to healthcare. It is important how specialists and experts will come up with different opinions on this platform. And we will have the opportunity to discuss them."

The forum has a regional status, but the participants raised issues, including those important for the whole country.
