~Constitution Day~
The head of state pointed out that this year the date has a special meaning because the constitutional amendments adopted at the national referendum came into force on 15 March. “We are opening a new chapter of our history - a modern history, looking forward to the future of Belarus. By strengthening the legal foundation of the society, we are creating a reliable mechanism of protection of original values, national memory and traditional way of life for the next generations,” “The Belarusians have made their choice, demonstrating their civic maturity, their commitment to peaceful, creative, evolutionary development of the country. Having preserved the foundations of a sovereign state that guarantees the social security of its citizens, we have improved the institution of the people's government and developed a system of governance that meets the challenges of our time,” the President said.
The Constitution of the Republic of Belarus is the Fundamental Law of the state, which has supreme legal force and direct effect in the entire territory of the country. The Constitution sets forth fundamental principles for the regulation of legal, political and economic system of the state. The fundamental law guarantees the protection of inalienable human rights, sets forth mutual obligations of citizens and the state, and establishes the procedure for the formation and functioning of public authorities. The provisions of the Constitution are further elaborated in the current legislation.

~Victory Day~

Today Belarus is celebrating Victory Day, one of the most important holidays in the history of the country. For Belarusians this is a sacred holiday, a day of remembrance, utmost respect and gratitude to Soviet soldiers, homefront workers, underground resistance fighters, to all those who made the victory possible.

9 May 1945 marked the Soviet Union's victory in the Great Patriotic War which lasted for 1,418 days and nights. The Soviet people played a decisive role in the fight against fascism and bore the brunt of the war and determined the future of the entire world civilization.

Belarus was the first of the Soviet Union republics to face the massive attack of the fascist invaders, becoming the scene of the largest battles. The first to come under attack were border guards and advanced units of the shield forces. The enemy aircraft bombed railway junctions, airfields, Brest, Grodno, Volkovysk, Baranovichi, and other Belarusian cities.
