Security in the country and the level of crime were discussed today in the Palace of Independence. The Prosecutor General of Belarus reported on the work results to the President. In general, the crime rate decreased by 3% in 2018. In particular, there were fewer robberies, murders, and drunk drivers. Despite the positive dynamics, there are a number of issues that require attention of the Head of State. Therefore, Alexander Lukashenko instructed to prepare a meeting with the entire power unit of the country. Considering that Alexander Konyuk also heads the supervisory board of the Belarusian Federation of ski races, the Head of State asked about the situation in this area.

The President drew attention to the main instructions that he gave to the General Prosecutor's Office: to control external receivables from business entities and keep the pace of the fight against corruption.

In the opinion of the Prosecutor General, anti-corruption commissions should work more effectively. Alexander Konyuk announces a reboot for them in the near future. A number of changes in their work are prepared. Most often the facts of corruption were found in the areas of transport, construction and public administration.

The receivables are declining: this issue is also under the control of the Prosecutor General’s Office. According to Alexander Konuk, criminal schemes in this area have been discovered.
