The head of Masty District Executive Committee Alyaksei Shafarevich informs that Russian will continue being the main language of the website. The official explained it by the fact that the other websites of district executive committees of Hrodna Region were in Russian.

Moreover, according to the head of the district executive committee, the Russian language of the website corresponds to the demands of Belarusian President’s Decree #754 “On official Internet portal of the President of the Republic of Belarus”.

According to this decree, the information in the President’s official webpage has to be in Russian (or Belarusian) and in English. The Masty official did not explain how the website of Masty District Executive Committee was connected with the official webpage of Alyaksandr Lukashenka.
