The Belarusian parliament has finally restructured its work in accordance with the new Constitution. The session opens today, September 20, and will end on the last working day of June. In total, the legislative season will last more than nine months. It seems like a lot of time, but you have to consider the amount of work that deputies and senators have to do. This is not only current issues, but also a global update of the legislation.

Vladimir Andreichenko, Chairman of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus:Now the task of deputies and senators is to bring legislation in line with what the people voted for. We write our own laws ourselves, without regard to what they say from the outside. The aim is clear - the stable functioning of the state and society.
