MINSK, 3 October (BelTA) – It is necessary to develop small villages and isolated farmsteads. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko gave the relevant instructions during the government conference held on 3 October to discuss the latest revision of the Housing Code and ways to improve the legislation on reducing the number of vacant and decrepit houses, BelTA has learned.
Alexander Lukashenko said: “There is another important matter I’ve already raised in public: the development of small villages and isolated farmsteads. The number of vacant houses is on the rise. We need to enable conditions for using such homes effectively.”
In his words, thrifty solutions to the problems are needed. “There is some potential for farm tourism among other things,” believes Alexander Lukashenko.
The president reminded that he had already encouraged all the willing people — not only the rich ones — to remember the places they come from. “If someone can put in order their own village by possibly building their home over there, they should do it,” said the head of state.
