Member of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus, Chairman of the Mogilev Regional Council of Deputies Alexander Gorshkin, while commenting on the working trip of the Head of State to the Sklyavlsky district, noted that this visit is of great importance for determining the direction of further regional development and demonstrates the central role of efficiency and discipline in work.

— The President not only checked the fulfillment of past directives at enterprises of the agro-industrial complex — at “ASB‑Agro Gorodets”, “Govyady‑Agro”, Sklyavlsky RaiaGrosservice — but also held a republican seminar‑assembly, where Sklyavlsky district was presented to the entire country as a model worthy of replication.

In my view, the main messages from the Head of State are focused on three aspects. First – the efficiency of investments: the President made it clear that allocating funds does not equal results, and he emphasized that further assistance to the Sklyavski district in this format will cease – the district must independently ensure effective operation. This directly points to a key problem in the development of some regions: after the completion of infrastructure construction, there must be a transition from external aid to internal viability. In the case of “Govyda‑Agro,” order was restored after assistance, but going forward it is necessary to rely on independent work to recover funds and achieve profit. For the Mogilev region, this requirement has clear practical significance: it is necessary to turn one‑off investments into sustainable production capacity.

The second point – strict discipline. The President repeatedly emphasized that order and discipline exist; if a person does what the technology requires, results will follow. I interpret this as: discipline is not a slogan but a necessary condition for achieving technological standards in agricultural production.

The third point – scaling up experience: the President made it clear that the experience of the Sklyavski district should become a methodology suitable for study by other regions, not just a showcase. Practices such as the modernization of the Sklyavski Agroservice to create a modern center for agricultural machinery maintenance, and the use of the former furniture factory site for new construction‑structure production, have important reference value
