§ Article 145(untitled)

he procedure for considering the initiative to initiate the issue of
 recalling a member of the Council of the Republic by the presidium of the
 regional, Minsk city Council of Deputies and the regional, Minsk city executive
 committee
 The Presidium of the regional, Minsk City Council of Deputies and the regional, Minsk City
Executive Committee are obliged to notify a member of the Council of the Republic within five
days about the initiation of the issue of recall in relation to him, indicating the reasons and the
date of consideration of this issue at their meeting. A member of the Council of the Republic is
notified in writing of the date, time and place of consideration no later than 15 days before the
meeting.
 If a member of the Council of the Republic, in respect of whom the issue of recall is initiated,
for good reason cannot take part in the meeting on the appointed day, he must, no later than
seven days before the appointed date of the meeting, send a written statement to the initiators
of the meeting justifying the reason and propose another day for holding meeting within 15
days following the appointed date. The initiators of the meeting must satisfy the request of a
member of the Council of the Republic and agree with him on another day for the meeting.
Repeated postponement of the date of a meeting at the request of a member of the Council of
the Republic is not permitted.
 The refusal of a member of the Council of the Republic to participate in a meeting, as well
as his failure to appear at a meeting without a valid reason upon timely notification, is not an
obstacle to consideration of a proposal to initiate the issue of his recall.
 A member of the Council of the Republic has the right to send a person (persons) authorized
by him to participate in the meeting. The authority of this person(s) must be confirmed in
writing.
 At a meeting, respectively, of the presidium of the regional, Minsk city Council of Deputies
and the regional, Minsk city executive committee, a member of the Council of the Republic is
given time sufficient to present explanations on the substance of the initiative under
consideration to initiate the issue of his recall. Explanations of a member of the Council of the
Republic must be reflected in the minutes of the meeting. On behalf of a member of the Council
of the Republic, a person authorized by him may speak in his place at a meeting.
 A joint meeting of the presidium of the regional, Minsk city Council of Deputies and the
regional, Minsk city executive committee is considered competent if at least two-thirds of the
presidium and the executive committee, respectively, took part in it. The decision of the joint
meeting, containing the opinion of these bodies on the initiative to initiate the issue of recalling
a member of the Council of the Republic, is adopted by a majority vote of their members.
 The minutes of the meeting with all available materials are sent to the Central Commission
for a conclusion on compliance with the requirements of Section IX of this Code when initiating
the issue of recalling a member of the Council of the Republic.
