The focus is on several districts of the Vitebsk region.

– The issue is quite problematic and mainly concerns districts lagging in socio-economic development – Gorodok, Shumilino, Senno, Sharkovshchina, Ushachi, and Liozno. In order to reduce interregional differentiation, the government resolution was adopted, which allowed these districts to improve their indicators relative to the national average in the current five-year period, – reminded the Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee Alexander Subbotin. – In Senno and Gorodok districts – in terms of wages, revenue, and the number of economically active population; in Liozno, Sharkovshchina, and Shumilino – in terms of wage and revenue growth; in Ushachi – in terms of wage levels. The development plan for certain regions provided for the implementation of 85 projects, of which less than half have been implemented since 2020.

As a result, stated the head of the northern region, currently none of the mentioned districts have fulfilled all three indicators set by the resolution.

The prospects and strategy for the further development of the regions, both from the perspective of the chairmen of the district executive committees and the leadership of the regional executive committee, are being discussed at the meeting of the regional executive committee.
