Brest City Soviet confirms appointment of new city head
The Brest City Soviet (elected council) on November 28 almost unanimously confirmed the appointment of Nikolai Gordiyevich as chairman of the Brest City Executive Committee.
On November 27, Mr. Gordiyevich was received by the Belarusian ruler, who gave his consent to his appointment. Mr. Gordiyevich filled the position left vacant by Gennady Mosko, who resigned after serving in that post for more than five years.
While introducing Mr. Gordiyevich to the Brest City Soviet, region governor Vasily Dolgolyov said that he was chosen from among several candidates for a number of reasons, including because he was a new man in Brest. Mr. Gordiyevich was appointed as deputy chairman of the
Brest City Executive Committee just nine months ago. Before that, he headed the executive government in the nearby city of Kobrin for several years. Mr. Dolgolyov said that the new city head will have to work
hard to make Brest number 2 city in Belarus in terms of beauty and achievements.
