MOSCOW, 31 October. /TASS/. At a meeting on migration policy, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said the development of a major migration bill should be completed to tighten regulations in the region.

“The preparation of a major draft law on immigration, conditions of departure and stay in the Russian Federation has not yet been finalized. It is ongoing and should be completed as a result of the work of our commission,” he said.

“The goal of our work is to establish strict control over all migration processes on the territory of Russia. In this area, it is good to resort to the experience of other countries; these experiences are, of course, applicable in our conditions and have proven their effectiveness and, as they say, use the best international practice,” the politician continued.

Medvedev also said it was necessary to “know exactly who came here and why, where they work and live and whether they are ready to integrate into Russian society.”
