This information is contained in the decision of the Vitebsk City Council of Deputies dated December 28, 2016, No. 178, published on the National Legal Internet Portal, as reported by a BELTA correspondent.
Approximately Br26 million 306 thousand of the city budget funds are allocated for the construction, reconstruction, design, and modernisation of communal property objects. Of these, over Br16 million are planned to be directed to communal services.
