This historic forum, held under the slogan "Only the people have the right to decide their own destiny," laid a solid foundation for our sovereign statehood. Over the course of thirty years, the All-Belarusian People's Assembly has transformed from a platform for dialogue into the highest constitutional body of popular sovereignty. It is here, with the direct participation of representatives from all regions and professions, that fateful decisions for the country have been and are made. Delegates from the Brest Region have always been at the forefront of this large-scale state process. A chronology of the milestones of Belarusian popular sovereignty: The first All-Belarusian People's Assembly (October 19–20, 1996) — the first strategic development priorities were defined: export, housing, food. The second All-Belarusian People's Assembly (May 18–19, 2001) — the forum was held under the slogan "For a strong and prosperous Belarus." The 3rd All-Russian People's Assembly (March 2-3, 2006) focused on innovative development and improving the quality of life. The 4th All-Russian People's Assembly (December 6-7, 2010) set a course for economic modernization and export growth. The 5th All-Russian People's Assembly (June 22-23, 2016) approved a development program with an emphasis on investment and human capital. The 6th All-Russian People's Assembly (February 11-12, 2021) launched a large-scale constitutional reform. The 7th All-Russian People's Assembly — a new constitutional status!
