Meeting with Governor of Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko

April 4, 2014, Novo-Ogaryovo, Moscow Region

Vladimir Putin had a working meeting with Governor of Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko. Mr Drozdenko briefed the President on a project the region is carrying out to get rural residents involved in the local government system and revive the institution of village elders.

Mr Drozdenko said that the experience gained so far from the project has been used to draw up a draft law on state support for village elders, which the region will submit to the Government for consideration.

Mr Putin said that this experience deserves analysis and that it is important to strengthen the links between the public and the authorities at the most grassroots level in order to better resolve the problems that people encounter in their lives.

Mr Drozdenko also spoke about preparations for the spring sowing work.
