Solemn ceremonies will be organized in all cities and district centers of the region. Veterans of the Great Patriotic War, honorary citizens, and heads of local authorities, to the applause of parents, relatives and friends, teachers and classmates, will present young people with their most important document. "For the young men and women receiving their passports in such a solemn setting, this day will become an important and memorable event in their lives. It will allow them to fully realize the fact of their entry into adult life, as well as to feel the responsibility associated with the concept of 'citizen'," is confident Lyudmila Kapranova. As part of the "We are Citizens of Belarus!" campaign, round tables, lectures, quiz competitions on knowledge of history and the Constitution, and information hours "My Rights and Obligations as a Citizen of the Republic of Belarus" will also be held in all primary organizations of educational institutions in the region.

The main sites for housing construction in Vitebsk will be several new residential areas. Thus, after the completion of the development of the Bilevo-1 residential area, where it is planned to build about 280 thousand sq.m. of housing, builders will begin the active development of the territory for the Bilevo-2 residential area. In 2011, work in the Medtsentr residential area will be completed, and construction of the Luchesa residential area will begin. Simultaneously, large social facilities will be built. In Bilevo, a new kindergarten for 170 places will be opened this year, and in 2011, it is planned to lay the foundations for a new school and two more kindergartens. The practice of point housing development in already formed urban areas will continue. In this regard, the residential area in the area of Chapayev and Mira streets, where it is planned to demolish 8 dilapidated houses and build 7 multi-story residential buildings (up to 20 floors) in their place, promises to be interesting. Individual housing construction will also be developed; to meet the needs for land plots of individual developers, the city is designing two residential areas on the outskirts in the prospective city limits.
