The forum is held at the Palace of Independence these minutes. More than 250 people gathered here including officials, heads of state bodies and organizations, representatives of local authorities. The main question is how to improve the housing and communal services system. According to the Head of State, the resolution of municipal problems should always be a priority for regional leaders. The industry has done a lot to reduce costs, improve the quality of services and develop technology. According to polls, 66 percent of the population positively assess the work of public services. But almost a third of the respondents give a negative assessment.

Speaking at the seminar, the President focused on the painful points of the communal sphere. These are the problems of overhauls, and the search for reserves to reduce the cost of heat, water quality, waste management.
