A regular meeting of the CSTO Defense Ministers Council was held in Dushanbe on 27 April. The day before, Tajikistan President Emomali Rahmon met with the defense ministers of the CSTO member states, BelTA has learned from the press service of the Defense Ministry.
The parties discussed regional security and cooperation within the CSTO Defense Ministers Council. The parties also exchanged views on the challenges and threats to military security and measures to neutralize them.
According to Belarus' Defense Minister Lieutenant General Viktor Khrenin, the main sources of threats to the CSTO member states are the activities of Western states to build up coalition and national military capabilities and active expansion of the U.S. military presence in Europe, the unresolved armed conflicts, primarily in Syria and Afghanistan, the persistently high level of international terrorism and religious extremism.
The ministers also highlighted the most pressing problems of the Eastern European region: a large-scale information war, the destructive activities of the West to destabilize the situation in the post-Soviet space, unresolved conflicts and color revolutions.
Viktor Khrenin briefed his colleagues on the actions of the Belarusian opposition, who, under the supervision of their Western handlers, attempted to overthrow the constitutional order in Belarus and organize a coup d'etat through the physical removal of the top officials.
“The parties exchanged the views on military security issues in the regions of responsibility of the CSTO and made decisions on the further development of the military dimension of the CSTO,” the ministry said.

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko appointed new police chiefs in Minsk Oblast, Brest Oblast, Grodno Oblast on 30 April, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Astreiko has been appointed Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Minsk Oblast Executive Committee. Previously, he served as head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Brest Oblast Executive Committee.
Oleg Shulyakovsky has been named Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Brest Oblast Executive Committee. He held the post of first deputy head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Gomel Oblast Executive Committee – head of the criminal police.
Dmitry Rezenkov has been appointed Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Grodno Oblast Executive Committee. Until now, he was the first deputy head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Vitebsk Oblast Executive Committee - head of the criminal police.
Thanks to the potential of the agricultural sector, which has been created over the years of the country's independence, the output of the country's main products increased last year, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a meeting held on 29 April to discuss the current situation in the agricultural sector of the country, BelTA has learned.
According to the head of the state, the previous year was a real test for the system of the world economic relations: the borders were closed, the long lasting trade connections were destroyed and the states and economic unions refused to meet their obligations of mutual support. “I do not rule out that someone needed this. However, the fact that many took advantage of the situation is probably no secret to all the present here,” the president said.
National interests won in this coronavirus test, especially in such a fundamental area of state security as ensuring the priority needs of the population, said Aleksandr Lukashenko.
“In this context, the issue of food security came to the fore. Last spring there were panic moods worldwide: they did not know how to sow and grow crops, they predicted a shortage of food. It happened so. Today the rise in food prices has exceeded 10% across the planet. However, this is precisely the moment when the so-called ‘dictatorship' and discipline, for which we are not just criticized but reproached, showed their effectiveness. Thanks to the potential that we have developed during the period of independence in the agricultural sector, we ensured the growth of production of the main types of food products last year,” the president said.
At the same time the information from watchdogs about the current state of affairs in cattle breeding is somewhat alarming, the head of state said. Production of livestock and poultry in live weight has slightly reduced. There has been also an increase in mortality and a reduction of livestock. “I think the prosecutor general is well aware that this is the area of responsibility of the prosecutor's office. The loss of livestock is inadmissible if we want agricultural production to grow. I have said this many times: district executive committees should see that if two or three farms perform poorly, the young stock should be removed from these farms and sent to the farms that can provide the needed care,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
In his words, these are not only technological issues, which specialists must plan and solve in advance. Production is the basis for successful sales of products and the positive economic situation of the village.
“Do not even ask for money. You have the money. We need to solve the problems and implement the plans we have outlined. We cannot inject significant sums of money in the areas which should earn themselves and replenish the budget. We cannot afford to make up for money losses with anything but production efficiency,” the president stressed.
According to him, the situation in the industry differs by region and even more so by district. “If there are stably performing farms, why are there such striking results given the same weather, financial and other factors? Aleksandr Lukashenko wondered. He added that someone might complain about a shortage of staff or a lack of good equipment. According to the president, all these problems can be solved: during the busy season additional workers can be hired or the existing team can be paid for working two shifts, and the machinery should be treated carefully. “Of course, if you use it around the clock and do not maintain it, a year later you will put it under the fence. It is necessary to treat the equipment carefully. No need to overuse it, drive it into a swampy area when the terms are tight. You'd better work when the soil dries up in three shifts,” the head of state said.
"There are issues with discipline and organization. Sometimes it seems that the more support and trust is given to a region, the worse it performs. We will discuss the example of Vitebsk Oblast in the near future, and God forbid you make no progress there. We have already done everything that you have asked for,” the president said.
The head of state decided to hold a broad-format meeting to deal with these issues and hear out reports of the governors. First of all, he was interested in the reasons that became an obstacle to the dynamic development of the agro-industrial complex and measures which are taken to eliminate them.
“The agricultural industry is specific in that it is at the local level, not in Minsk, where the key factors of success are found: efficient use of material and labor resources, elimination of mismanagement, optimal use of all the potential of the industry. Today we need to make decisions that will set specific tasks for managers at all levels and establish parameters that will subsequently be used to evaluate the results of work,” the president said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko instructed Chairman of the State Control Committee Vasily Gerasimov to take control of the situation.
The head of state also touched upon the progress in spring field work. He noted that the farms are still behind schedule. The president set the task to sow beets, flax, corn and half of potatoes by 9 May. “9 May is the deadline. On 10 May I will find time to inspect the country (I have developed certain points over the years) and to draw a conclusion about the capabilities of the governors and the people subordinate to them,” the Belarusian leader said.
Belarus is mulling over strengthening the role of the government in issues related to the state budget at the constitutional level, Chairman of the Constitutional Court, Chairman of the Constitutional Commission Piotr Miklashevich said during a session of the Constitutional Commission, BelTA has learned.
“State budget as a central element of the country's financial system is an indispensable attribute of a state and the economic and financial foundation for its sovereignty,” Piotr Miklashevich noted. “We are mulling over increasing the role of the government in drafting the budget, submitting it to the parliament, overseeing the execution of the state budget, and reporting to the parliament about its status. This will go in line with the constitutional and legal status of the government,” he added.
The Constitutional Commission convened for the third time on 28 April. The agenda of the meeting focuses on amendments to the provisions regarding the functions and powers of the president and the government – the Council of Ministers. The first meeting of the Constitutional Commission took place on 31 March. The commission is set to convene twice a month.
Служба в армии – священная обязанность каждого молодого человека нашей Республики. Призывники сегодня – это вчерашние мальчишки, которые вступают во взрослую жизнь.

По данным ВОЗ, паразитарными болезнями в мире заражено более 4,5 млрд. человек. Средняя заболеваемость населения Земли составляет 100 млн. в год. В течение жизни практически каждый человек переносит паразитарное заболевание. Не смотря на тенденцию к улучшению эпидемиологической ситуации по паразитарной заболеваемости ежегодно регистрироваться случаи заболеваемости лямблиозом, аскаридозом, трихоцефалезом, энтеробиозом, гименолепидозом, дифиллоботриозом, описторхозом, клонорхозом, токсокарозом, тениаринхозом.
Слово паразит имеет греческие корни и в переводе означает «нахлебник», «тунеядец».
Паразит - организм, который использует особь другого вида (хозяина) в качестве источника пищи и среды обитания. Паразит и хозяин находятся в антагонистических отношениях.
Паразитарные заболевания могут быть вызваны как патогенными бактериями, так и паразитическими простейшими, паразитическими членистоногими, вирусами, паразитическими червями. Паразиты, как у человека, так и у животного могут поразить любую часть организма, даже глаза и мозг.
Пути заражения паразитами:
Помните, что большинство паразитарных заболеваний протекает бессимптомно или под «маской» других болезней! Например, детей часто безуспешно лечат от аллергии или атопического дерматита, а излечение наступает только после проведения антигельминтной терапии. Но и для взрослых долгое отсутствие лечения не безопасно, возможны самые разнообразные осложнения, вплоть до развития опухолей.
Люди, не осознают тот факт, что симптоматика вяло протекающих паразитарных болезней, неспецифична. И большинство обращается к непрофильным специалистам: аллергологу, гастроэнтерологу и т.д., в зависимости от ведущих симптомов заболевания. В результате, человек лечится годами, не подозревая об истинной причине своей болезни. Паразитарные болезни являются причиной задержки психического и физического развития детей, вызывают аллергизацию организма пораженного человека, снижают сопротивляемость инфекционным и соматическим заболеваниям, снижают эффективность вакцинопрофилактики.
