Days of St. Petersburg to kick off in Minsk on 14 July
The Ministry of Internal Affairs' "For Security - Together!" campaign, held as part of the "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" festival, concluded with a spectacular, vibrant event featuring gifts.
The campaign was attended by Dmitry Korzyuk, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Belarus. He familiarized himself with the numerous locations of police units set up on Victory Square.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs' "For Security - Together!" campaign took place in a wonderful festival atmosphere. During these days, Vitebsk transformed into a true cultural capital, attracting a huge number of guests from Belarus and abroad. It was important to create a comfortable and safe atmosphere for them, and I believe we succeeded. Thanks, in part, to the efforts of the police, people felt the true Belarusian hospitality. The Ministry of Internal Affairs' campaign was harmoniously integrated into the fabric of the "Slavianski Bazaar." Not only children but also adults, having visited all our locations and interactive platforms, were convinced: we work openly and have provided people with information about practically all units – internal and special troops, traffic police, riot police, criminal police, the Department of Security, – noted Dmitry Korzyuk.
The Deputy Minister thanked the festival organizers and assured that future events organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be equally spectacular and informative.
Over four days, more than 10,000 people visited the police's themed sites and received flyers. On the final day, they participated in a raffle for a mountain bike. The lucky winner of the super prize was Olga Brueva from Vitebsk, who, along with her 12-year-old son Artyom, completed the entire interactive route. The main prize was presented to the winners by Dmitry Korzyuk. Also participating in the award ceremony were Gleb Lapitsky, Director of the "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" International Arts Forum, Belarusian singer Gyunesh, and Russian performer Artur Rudenko.
