Deputy Governor Yelena Kudryasheva in a press conference this week confirmed that the next minister of youth issues, sport and tourism will be elected by people in the region.
-The elections will be “as democratic as possible”, Kudryasheva underlined to the reporters. However, the elections will still not be direct and the governor will be able to veto the winner of the vote. As a matter of fact, a number of youth fora all over the region will convene late fall to appoint representatives to a bigger youth congress, which will be where the new minister is elected.
People interested in the job are free to register their candidacy by November 16, Pravda Severa reports.
