CSTO countries urged to fight illegal migration together

According to Nikolai Bordiuzha, since its foundation the council has built a system to handle legislation harmonization, to create information systems, to counteract human trafficking. Close relations were established with CIS and EurAsEC agencies to carry out the first phase of the Nelegal action plan, which is meant to combat illegal migration, including human trafficking. Nikolai Bordiuzha believes it is necessary to continue enhancing cooperation between agencies. The legal base should be improved to match practice. Cooperation with diasporas is none the less important.

According to BelTA, the agenda of the session includes illegal migration, interagency cooperation, interaction with diasporas and other matters. The possibility of creating a single database of lost, illegally issued and invalid passports and visa documents will be considered. Participants of the council session will talk over the adaptation of labor migrants to social and cultural conditions of another country for the sake of taming illegal migration.

Attention will be paid to enabling more effective and timely exchange of information about third-country citizens and stateless persons, who enter the CIS.
