President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, colleagues,

Today, we will have our first meeting after the long holidays. As agreed, many of our colleagues stayed in touch during the holidays, so the work never stopped.

I suggest discussing the most topical issues today. The main issue on our agenda today has to do with national projects. I would like Mr Novak, followed by Mr Teksler, to report on the launch of new national projects.

But at the outset we will talk about current issues. First of all, I would like Mr Fayzullin to tell us about the operation of our housing and utility services during the New Year holidays.

Mr Fayzullin, you have the floor.

To be continued.
