Over 30 people registered for the meeting, among them were residents of Orsha District, Vitebsk, Novopolotsk, Vitebsk District and Lepel District. “The majority of issues raised during the meeting should have been resolved on the ground. People voiced complaints of local authorities and company chiefs. There were incidents where people's appeals were processed only partially. The way the authorities handle public complaints and appeals shapes public attitudes towards the government, officials and the country in general, therefore it is necessary to treat these appeals in the most earnest and attentive way, because it affects people's lives,” Natalia Kochanova said. 

The issues raised during the meeting dealt with housing and land ownership, the work of housing and utilities services, child support enforcement, employment and road construction.
