Direct speech

Vladimir MENSHIKOV, Director of Agrosnab-Pskov LLC: “Many issues in the region can be resolved without pointing at the federal center. For 16 years I have had to communicate with European partners and Americans. They always monitor the level of "calm" in a given region. More importantly, when the governor gave his word and kept it. And linking the successes of the region with Moscow is not entirely correct. I do not think that in Moscow they will be against the necessary production in the region. I was one of the first people who spoke in the press in order to attract the Toyota concern to the Pskov region. But the concern chose the Leningrad region. There, the governor took the head of the concern and walked everywhere through all the offices. The interest is immediately visible. We have not done this. Today the Pskov region is very attractive. Near the border. We have a surplus of electricity today, if the press is right. I think that if you wish, you can first of all create an infrastructure for tourism in the region, create an infrastructure for the production of cars. Yes, these are long-term projects. And today the authorities are busy with projects with a momentary benefit. And nothing else".

Valery LESNIKOV, Chairman of the Pskov regional branch of the all-Russian public organization of small and medium-sized businesses "Support of Russia", deputy of the Pskov City Duma: “A regional program for the development of small and medium-sized businesses is absolutely necessary. Having your own business development program will expand the investment opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses, since the law itself says that there should be a program in which the financial part will be spelled out. Without a program, often the issue of financial investments is not resolved. With the regional program, it will be clear where we are going and what we will do today, tomorrow, in two years. It would be nice if a small business support fund was created in the Pskov region, as it will help entrepreneurs solve financial issues faster by taking a bank loan to develop their business. In addition, the regional program must necessarily take into account the possibility of allocating premises to businessmen for activities, since now it is often difficult to buy space at an auction, especially for start-up entrepreneurs.”

Dmitry MATVEEV, Chairman of the Committee on Agroindustrial Complex and Environmental Management of the Pskov Regional Assembly, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ZAO Velikoluksky Dairy Plant: “Certainly, the Pskov region needs to adopt a regional program to support small and medium-sized businesses. In the life of all democratic countries, small and medium-sized businesses play almost the main role. Today, bureaucracy and corruption are a big problem. Those who open their own business often have to deal with a lot of approvals and obstacles.”

Alexey SEVASTYANOV, Deputy of the Pskov Regional Assembly, President of the Auto-Alliance group of motor transport enterprises: “The program for the development of small and medium-sized businesses is especially important in our region, and there are a lot of reasons for that. People treat their savings with great attention, and if we want to build, open our own production, we, unfortunately, spend years to go through the corridors of power - approvals and all that. Therefore, all the terms should be specified in the regional program so that entrepreneurs clearly understand how to build a business plan: with a view to the next year, or two or three years ahead, how to accumulate their funds, in what period to invest.”

Marina KHOKHLOVA, Chairman of the Accounts Chamber of the Pskov Region: “Today, the governor has set the task for the Accounts Chamber of the Pskov Region to conduct a complete total check of all state-owned enterprises for financial and economic activities. Particular attention should be paid to the losses that exist in enterprises, to determine what caused them. Also, special attention will be paid to the analysis of prices, both selling and purchasing, at which these enterprises operate. First of all, the task was set to analyze and verify the prices that are formed in the road enterprises of the Pskov region: prices for building materials that are used in the repair and construction of roads. The goal is to check financial and economic activities, which includes the study of revenue. How revenue is formed, how income is received, whether prices are underestimated - selling prices, purchase prices, how prices are formed, what profitability is laid down on prices, how objectively ... An analysis of costs will also be carried out: how objective are all expenses incurred, how much they are confirmed by documents, contractual obligations " .
