Lukashenko appoints new city head to Brest
Belarusian ruler Aleksandr Lukashenko has appointed Nikolai Gordiyevich as chairman of the Brest City Executive Committee, the government of the 300,000 regional capital in southwestern Belarus.
Mr. Gordiyevich's predecessor, Gennady Mosko, headed the Brest government for more than five years. He resigned in late October following a probe into his running of the city economy. He has already accepted the position of deputy director general for economy at Westauto (formerly Brestsovtransavto), a large Brest-based motor carrier. Mr. Gordiyevich was recommended for the post by the Brest
Regional Executive Committee, of which he has been deputy chairman since March 2001. Before that, he served as chairman of the City Executive Committee in nearby Kobrin for several years.
