Today is an important historical and political date in the annals of independent Belarus. March 15 is the Constitution Day. The basic law of our country is 25 years old. The most important document is a symbol of sovereignty and the foundation of the Belarusian statehood. However, 2019 will be marked by another important political jubilee - a quarter of a century to the institution of the Presidency. Congratulating compatriots on the Constitution Day, the Belarusian leader noted that the adoption of this document made it possible to realize the desire of many generations of Belarusians to be masters on their land, to live in a free, fair and prosperous society.

The Head of State handed over passports to young talented Belarusians today. The solemn ceremony took place on Constitution Day in the Palace of Independence.

The opportunity to visit the walls of one of the symbols of the Belarusian statehood is a bright event for schoolchildren. They received their first documents fr om the hands of the guarantor of the Constitution - the President of Belarus. Alexander Lukashenko notes that a passport is the first step into adulthood.

Schoolchildren received their first documents and the book I Am Citizen of Republic of Belarus in the hall for the presentation of credentials. As a rule, Alexander Lukashenko receives diplomats from other countries there. Such a gesture gave special significance and solemnity to the event. 25 young Belarusians from different regions of the country are barely 14 years old, but at the same time the guys have already achieved certain heights in sports, culture, art, international and republican competitions.

The President understands how much such a meeting means for the schoolchildren and therefore opened his office for the children. This is wh ere the first copy of the current Constitution of Belarus is kept.

A great interest among teenagers was also aroused by the museum with gifts presented to the Belarusian leader by his colleagues or foreign delegations visiting us at various times.
