Regional Round Table: "Problems of Application of Criminal Law in the Implementation of Operational and Investigative Activities"

Kikot, appealed to the leadership of the Branch with an initiative to conduct a regional round table on the topic “Problems of applying criminal legislation in the implementation of operational-search activities” by the Department of Criminal Law and Criminology and the Department of Operational-Search Activities. This initiative was supported and the first round table was held on April 9, 2015.
