“In the foreground is the smooth functioning of the regional authorities, because, in spite of everything, in spite of the situation with Furgal, the authorities must function clearly,” said Peskov.

He noted that the authorities of the region should talk with citizens.

“There should be a constant, uninterrupted dialogue between the regional authorities and the residents of the region,” said Peskov.
