A village in the Liozno district, previously considered unpromising, is actively reviving, largely thanks to townspeople who have moved there to live. By the way, the villagers have become "patrons": they have raised 20 million rubles to improve the functioning of the water tower. A case that is if not unique, then very rare.

On May 30, "Vitbichi" invites children and their parents to the Vitebsk Zoo (17 Y. Kupala Street) for a fun time together (from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM) on the eve of International Children's Day.

About 30 participants of the art project "Ornaments on Trees" will leave their mark in Polotsk.

As noted by Milan Hovorka, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, trade and economic cooperation between Belarus and the Czech Republic is developing dynamically, reaching its peak in 2008, when the trade turnover between the countries exceeded $400 million. At the same time, there is significant potential for expanding and deepening mutual relations through the development of contacts between the regions of the two countries. It is for this reason that for the first time a Czech delegation, which included representatives of major enterprises, is visiting one of the regions of Belarus today. The Vitebsk region was not chosen by chance. "This is one of the largest industrial regions in Belarus, and some Czech companies are already present here," said Milan Hovorka. "And we are interested in cooperation in the creation of hydroelectric power plants, the development of urban transport, in the field of mechanical engineering, and other sectors."
