Ethno-confessional monitoring. What will the Office of the Commissioner for Religions and Nationalities do

Ethno-confessional monitoring and closer interaction with religious institutions will be carried out by the office of the Commissioner for Religions and Nationalities under the leadership of Oleg Dyachenko, appointed to this position.

First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Belarus Vladimir Pertsov, introducing the new head, pointed to the tasks that the team faces: preserving peace, balance and suppressing any attempts to demonstrate the superiority of one category of citizens of the Republic of Belarus over another and the corresponding stuffing from the outside.

“The fact that interfaith and interreligious peace has been established and maintained in our country is primarily the merit of the Head of our state, who always supports the policy of multiculturalism, puts it at the forefront, without distinguishing or dividing people by nationality, faith, race,” said Vladimir Pertsov.

In comments to journalists, Oleg Dyachenko told about the tasks that the team will be engaged in. In particular, he noted the issues of conducting effective ethno-confessional monitoring. “We need to understand what processes are going on in society, the real number of believers, how to build work,” he said.

The Ombudsman for Religions and Nationalities also noted closer cooperation with religious institutions of the country in terms of solving the most important state tasks. “We are acting from a position of partnership,” said Oleg Dyachenko.
