The local city council has issued a order for a major facelift of the city centre ahead of the prime minister’s visit to the city due 11 July. However, the city clean-up is little more than a Potemkin-scene. As noted critics, you will not have to go far outside the main city streets to find the old dilapidated state of affairs. At the same time, local authorities have distributed a note to media institutions where they are requested not to make negative assessments of the city during the premier’s visit, Newsru.com reports.
