Access to ministries and other central administration institutions will be regulated
The persons and units of transport will be allowed to enter the ministries and other central administration institutions according to special regulations. The document was worked out in a bid to ensure a rigorous guard and access-control regime at the given institutions, to create a centralised database and to set principles of activity for guard subdivisions.
Under the regulations, the guard personnel will be provided with special uniforms by the ministry that administers the guard subdivision and with firearms in the way established by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The passage points will be equipped with metal-detecting systems, electronic registration systems (database, electromagnetic padlock, barriers, gates), and video surveillance systems within the perimeter. The persons and units of transport will enter through at most two crossing points.
The President of Moldova, the heads and deputy heads of Parliament, the Prime Minister, the First Deputy Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Ministers have free access to the ministries and other central administration institutions. A number of officials (MPs, members of the Government, the president of the Constitutional Court, the Prosecutor General, the head of the Security and Information Service and others) will enter the given institutions with permits.
The employees will enter only with work permits, access cards or temporary permits. The visitors will go into with one-time permits issued by the registrar of the permits office at the request of the administration, heads of departments, divisions, services and others functionaries that have the right to receive guests.
The regulations do not provide how the press can enter these institutions.
The regulations came into force on January 18 after published in the Official Gazette.
