First of all, the head of state addressed words of gratitude to the House of Representatives and personally to Igor Sergeyenko for providing a snapshot of the public mood through their communication with people in various regions. «This is very important for me. After all, deputies are independent, objective people,» the president said. «[You bring] various questions raised by your constituents in a generalized form. This is very important for me. I have instructed the government today to look into each issue in detail, take measures, and report back through you, the deputies. This work must continue. It is very important for the state and for me.»
Separately, Aleksandr Lukashenko thanked the chairman of the House of Representatives and the parliamentarians in general for the work they are conducting on the international track. «This is exactly what is lacking today, even among members of the government. If you go on a business trip, you must bring something concrete results back from it,» the president emphasized.

The next session of the House of Representatives will open on 16 September. Eighteen draft laws are prepared for consideration during the third session. Key documents include the fiscal and tax package for 2026, draft versions of a new Water Code, and laws concerning criminal and administrative liability, state registration and liquidation (termination of activities) of business entities, loan provision, subsoil use, and energy saving. MPs also plan to develop the concept for a draft law «On Volunteer Activities».

Inter-parliamentary contacts are actively developed, which help promote Belarus’ foreign policy and economic interests, as well as the effective implementation of interstate agreements reached at the high and highest levels. Parliamentary delegations from Algeria, Iran, Kazakhstan, Türkiye, and the UAE are expected to visit Belarus.

While working in the country’s regions, deputies hold meetings with labor collectives and the public, conduct direct telephone lines, and hold office hours. A new form of work has been introduced: meetings between the leadership and regional delegations of the House of Representatives with activists from all regions and Minsk. Some of the issues raised in appeals are addressed through legislative means (for instance, improvements were made to real estate registration procedures, the land amnesty was extended, and additional mechanisms for establishing citizens’ pension rights were developed). The socio-political situation, results of work with citizens’ appeals, and public opinion on the effectiveness of government bodies are monitored on a systematic basis. Overall, deputies assess the local situation as stable and controllable, with public support for the political course of the president of Belarus.

The House of Representatives regularly informs the government and relevant ministries on problematic social and economic issues. This has concerned matters such as land relations, rental housing, energy supply, the quality of mobile communications and internet, and the operation of schools and hospitals. Monitoring of prices for socially essential goods, medicines, and medical supplies continues.
