22 мая 2018

Alexander Lukashenko was interested in the situation in the fight against crime. This year, the number of crimes and incidents decreased by 7 percent. There has been no increase in the number of particularly serious acts. There is no complication of the situation in public places. This year we failed to overcome the negative rate of accidents on the roads.

The fight against drugs was separately discussed at the meeting. According to the President, the responsibility of consumers and suppliers of psychotropic drugs should be strictly differentiated.

According to the Minister, we already have differentiation of responsibility to a certain extent depending on whether a person takes or sells drugs.

Almost 50 kilograms of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances were seized from illegal circulation this year. According to the Minister of Internal Affairs, law enforcers adequately react to the increased drug threat. As a result of the adopted harsh measures, a decrease in crimes in this sphere was recorded.

A week ago, the national team lost at the World Championship in Denmark and left the elite. The team mainly consists of Minsk Dynamo players whose supervisory board is headed by the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Therefore, the President was interested in further development of the club. Igor Shunevich informed the Head of State about the work of the Minsk Dynamo in the upcoming season, the staffing of the team and the coaching staff, the prospects of training the players for the national team.

One of the problems of domestic hockey is the training of goalkeepers. Today, a new tactic and methodology for assessing the results of hockey players is being developed.
