During the meeting, the parties discussed the draft budget of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for 2020, the development of a unified aviation system, the development of protection of sea borders, a program of preferential financial leasing for rescuers and police officers. The ministry reminds that for the first six months of the leasing program, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs received 700 apartments.
