Enhancing the legal status of non-profit organisations was on the agenda at the meeting.

In his Presidential Address to the Federal Assembly Mr Medvedev proposed introducing the institution of socially oriented non-profit organisations that would receive all-round support from the state. The President said that he has already signed the corresponding draft law and will send it to the State Duma for examination.

Discussions also focused on implementing the National Anti-Corruption Plan and needed changes to the country’s political and legal systems.
