During his visit to Polotsk, Alexander Lukashenko named a region of Belarus that, according to him, is working “extremely poorly.”
We are talking about the Vitebsk region. The President also ordered to determine the development strategy for this region.
First of all, he advised officials, it is necessary to pay close attention to the agro-industrial complex.
Warning
As reported by the press service of the head of state, immediately upon arrival in Polotsk he asked the head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and other officials:
What are we going to do with the Vitebsk region or in the Vitebsk region?
And he warned them: in March, if he remains in the post of President, they will report to him “down to the centimeter” (including the assistants responsible for the region and the governor) “what we will do” with the Vitebsk region.
The Vitebsk region is working very poorly, or, as they say in the village, haphazardly, Lukashenko noted.
He stressed that people “should live and work” here; they should have their own place and their own salary.
And now, the Belarusian leader states, in the region there is “no order, no discipline, no responsibility.”
Assignment
Alexander Lukashenko instructed responsible officials to determine what the fields should be like, what the feed bases for a farm or complex should be.
But the conditions for people at this complex or on the farm must be good, the President said.
And he warned officials: there is no point in even trying to “smear something out”: the agricultural culture is low, the fallow land is not rising, and the grain losses are colossal.
He brought to their attention the fact that it was necessary to have “intensive agriculture, and not to conduct it extensively at the expense of land.”
The head of state instructed officials to fly around “from above, below, left, right” during the period before the ground was covered with snow, to look and decide what needs to be done.
But you will answer for the experiment in the Vitebsk region that you have been conducting since the time of Sherstnev, said Alexander Lukashenko.
