The President reaffirmed his demand for careful attention to personnel: "In the event of a rotation of a regional leader, it is necessary to give existing personnel in the region a chance to adapt to new, higher requirements, but there should be no excesses here." Alexander Lukashenko noted the region's leadership's focus on achieving the tasks set by the head of state when appointing the new governor of the Vitebsk region 11 months ago.

To the sounds of the military band of the Vitebsk commandant's office, 62 couples will take to the floor of the regional philharmonic hall, including 38 cadets from the 8th and 10th grades of a Vitebsk school. The partners of the Vitebsk cadets will be participants of the "Ladushki" ensemble from the Palace of Culture of the Railway District of the regional center. The honor of representing the Smolensk Cadet Corps at the Vitebsk ball fell to twelve young men, who will be supported by participants of Smolensk dance groups. The ball program includes performances of the Viennese waltz, polka, tango, and mazurka. In the finale, the couples will whirl in a waltz vortex.

Traditionally, it will be opened by a meeting with the country's artists at the International Press Center. Film presentations of "Las meninas" (director Igor Podolchak) and "Rejection" (director Vladimir Lert) will take place at the House of Cinema.
