“People should wish and be able to live anywhere in Belarus, including in Baranovichi,” the Belarusian leader emphasized. In his words, the number one task is to improve the regional economy, which will help address social issues and minimize the gap in the living standards and the level of social and economic development of various communities. 

“As far as economies of the regions are concerned, we will move forward gradually. The focus will be made on 11 Belarusian cities.
