The first to come were the spouses from the agricultural town of Nemoyta, Senno district. For 30 years they have maintained a personal subsidiary farm, raised cows, donated milk . According to them, for many years they have been trying to get some kind of pasture allocated to them. In 2006, the previous lands were transferred to the agricultural enterprise "Druzhbinets". The villagers have a few hectares left, but this is sorely lacking. “We will come with Mikhail Rusy, we will see what can be done and we will try to help,” said Natalia Kochanova.

A resident of Novopolotsk voiced the problem of carriers in the region. According to her, the regional transport company "Transportation Operator" holds competitions among carriers very rarely.

It was ordered to look into this issue.

A resident of the agricultural town of Androny, Postavy District, asked about the work of an educational institution. There were two schools in their village council.

From September 1, parents were offered to take their children to the center of the village council in Postavy or in Kuropolye to a kindergarten, although, according to the man, the conditions in this educational institution are worse than in the Andronovo kindergarten. Therefore, parents and teachers still offer not to close their school and take children from Kuropolye to them. Natalya Kochanova promised to sort out the issue, the problem should be solved on the spot with parents, teachers and competent authorities.

A summer resident from the village of Zhuki came to the reception on behalf of himself and the villagers with a request to install a small bridge across the Usveyka River, fence off the cemetery and carry out patching in the village.

Today they started to put the road in order, they promised to sort out the rest of the issues in the coming months with a trip to the village.
