The New Laws

Plenary session of the legislature takes place tomorrow. The main items on the agenda will be two new legislations - "On Citizenship of PMR" and "On Migration". Documents are submitted by the president in the regime of legislative necessity. Legislations have been discussed in a number of parliamentary committees. Having examined them, the responsible committees - on legislation, law enforcement, protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens, as well as security, defense and peacekeeping - recommend colleagues to adopt the initiative presented by President in the first reading, taking into account the numerous comments and suggestions made earlier in the debate.

According to the parliamentarians, the law-in-draft "On Citizenship of PMR" much stricter conditions for the adoption of citizenship. This, in particular, such rules as an addition to the grounds thereof; the abolition of honorary citizenship; Longer verification by the competent authorities of documents of people applying for PMR citizenship; expand the list of grounds for refusal of citizenship and others.
