The leadership of the Vitebsk region congratulates on the Day of the State Flag, the State Emblem and the State Anthem of the Republic of Belarus

Dear compatriots!

We congratulate you on the Day of the State Flag, the State Emblem and the State Anthem of the Republic of Belarus!

This holiday unites us and reminds us of our common culture and spiritual values, which we carefully preserve and pass down from generation to generation.

Our state symbols are the embodiment of the centuries-old history of the Belarusian people, their aspirations and achievements. And it is especially pleasant that there is a piece of our native Vitebsk region in their creation. The author of the anthem's music, Nestor Sokolovsky, was born in Dokshitsy, and the pattern embroidered by Matryona Markevich from Senno became the national ornament of the flag. We are proud that our fellow countrymen have contributed to the creation of the attributes of statehood.

The flag, the emblem, and the anthem personify our independence, sovereignty, and national identity. These are the landmarks that help us move forward, building a strong and prosperous Belarus.

May there always be a clear sky over our country, and may peace and harmony reign in our homes!

A.N. Rogozhnik, Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee
