The President met Igor Shunevich, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and heard his report. The President was particularly interested in how the situation develops in the fight against crime. In general, Igor Shunevich stated that a positive trend can be observed. This year, the number of recorded crimes and incidents is declining.
The topic of combating drugs was also in the focus. Nearly 500 kg of drugs and psychotropic substances were seized from illegal circulation this year. As a result of the harsh measures taken by the government, there has been a decrease in crimes in this area. According to the Internal Affairs Minister, there is already a certain degree of differentiation of criminal liability. The relevant article of the Criminal Code distinguishes the elements of a crime. The use and sale of drugs incur different criminal liabilities.
