Opening the festive event, the Chairman of the Lepel District Executive Committee, Mikhail Kiselevich, addressed the attendees:

- Today, we are all united by the desire to make our native region beautiful and prosperous, comfortable for living. And for this, each of us, in our own workplace, makes their feasible contribution to the common cause – strengthening the prestige of the Lepel district. Behind these words is the real work of real people. Working together, we have achieved positive results in all sectors of the national economy, and fulfilled the main forecast indicators of socio-economic development. When we are all together, when we remember what our city, our country, our history means to us, then any difficulties and any work are within our reach.
