“Today you will discuss many topics, many problems. I would like to underline one topic, which, in my opinion, is the most relevant and extremely important for our countries - the formation of political culture in society. In my opinion, political culture is a key component of personal culture. Democracy must be taught. It must be explained that political rights, in particular electoral rights, are not implemented through promises, slogans, something catchy, trendy or non-standard. Political rights of citizens, participation in elections are primarily about effective and, most importantly, responsible participation in handling state affairs,” noted Natalya Petkevich.
