The draft decree on the Elimination of Federal Drug Control Service has been prepared against him categorically head of department, Viktor Ivanov. The head of the Federal Migration Service Konstantin Romodanovsky will be until the last appeal against the ruling, says a source close to the leadership of the FMS. Most likely, the fate of the Federal Drug Control Service has been solved, but there are certain Romodanovo more chances to keep independence, he said. RBC source in the Kremlin said that no decision on the matter is pending. A source at the Federal Drug Control Service said today they announced: solve the problem of connecting FDCS with the Interior Ministry, although they used to say that the Federal Drug Control Service can be a part of the Investigative Committee of Russia. At the same time pay attention to the Federal Drug Control Service published a detailed report on the eve of the Director of Viktor Ivanov on the activities of agencies in recent years.

President’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, declined to comment. Two companion in the Federal Drug Control Service and the Interior Ministry confirmed that they had heard about this discussion. Press officer of the Federal Migration Service refused to comment, as well as in the press service of the Federal Drug Control Service. The Interior Ministry also does not comment on rumors of accession to the drug police department. Interlocutor RBC emphasized that any official documents on this account does not exist.

For the elimination of departments stands head of Interior Ministry troops, Viktor Zolotov, according to the source close to the Kremlin, and confirmed by a source close to the leadership of the FMS. According to his official biography thirteen years (2000-2013 years), Viktor Zolotov worked as head of the presidential security service.

If you pass the Ministry of Interior of the FMS, it will offset the balance of the main intrigue at the security forces – two pairs of conflict with the FSB and MVD Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor General’s Office, recently the FSB and MVD conflict was resolved by the fact that the Interior Ministry stepped FSO staff last year, “- said the expert. He notes that now increased MVD complicate the system, the more that Romodanovskiy heavyweight ».

This is correct and timely decision, said RBC former Prosecutor General Yuri Skuratov. According to him, only the Federal Drug Control Service told during reports on the good work, but in practice the situation was radically different. One of the same catalysts for the abolition of service, according to Skuratov, could become cost optimization due to the tightening of the budget.

Federal Drug Control Service in mid-January reported that performs optimization of the structure and staff. “The main purpose of organizational and personnel changes is to optimize the structure and strength of the drug control agency and its divisions for the rational and efficient use of personnel during the performance of his tasks Russian Federal Drug Control Service,” – says an official agency.

The deprivation of Russian delegation to PACE was the central theme of the closing on Friday in Strasbourg, the winter session of the Assembly. PACE surprised by the decision of the Russian Federation to leave Strasbourg, some parliamentarians until the end and did not understand why the delegation left.

On Wednesday, PACE called on Russia to withdraw “its troops” from Ukraine and “refrain from supplying weapons to the militia,” ” immediately take robust action against the influx of Russian volunteers to take part in the conflict in the east of Ukraine “and demanded Russia to release detained in the Russian Ukrainian pilots Hope Savchenko within 24 hours, or transfer it to a third party.

Kiev authorities, as well as the US and the EU have repeatedly accused Moscow of interfering in the affairs of Ukraine. Russia denies the allegations and calls unacceptable. Moscow has repeatedly stated that it is not a party to the conflict and internal Ukrainian involvement in the events in the southeast, is interested in the fact that Ukraine has overcome the political and economic crisis.



It would seem so, but there is no

On the first day of the PACE session, a group of MPs, led by Briton Robert Walter, challenged the authority of the Russian delegation to PACE to this session. On the sidelines of the Assembly, there was talk that the British member of parliament for a long time preparing this action, since at the time the Russian delegation did not support his candidacy for the post of the PACE.

After the protest office, the Assembly requested the profile of the Monitoring Committee to prepare a draft report and resolution. The Russian delegation welcomed the project, worked with parliamentarians, clarified its position.

Before the first half of January 28 – the day of voting – all went well. However, after a meeting of the relevant committee and vote on the draft resolution, it was reported that a margin of one vote, passed a radical amendment to the document. It proposed to deprive the Russian delegation of voting rights at the meeting. After approval by the Commission Amendment head of the Russian delegation to PACE, Alexei Pushkov told RIA Novosti that in the case of deprivation of voting rights, it leaves Strasbourg.

The Russian delegation on the same day left Assembly

Why did you leave?

PACE delegation decision to leave Strasbourg surprised. Thus, the head of the Assembly Anne Brasseur said that no one fully repealed the authority of Russia. To return to the delegation of powers, in her opinion, it is necessary to perform the paragraphs of the resolution (“the withdrawal of troops from Transnistria, the return of the Crimea, the progress in resolving the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, the release Savchenko in 24 hours”, etc.). In April PACE check the “execution” requirements and decide what to do next, and in June will decide not to withdraw the delegation of powers completely.

There were PACE and those who said the next day that the incident – “sheer stupidity”. So, one of the members of parliament told RIA Novosti that “the very next day after the vote, we are faced with the consequences of” brilliant “solutions”.
