Russian Federation: Resolution No. 222 of 1994 of the Head of Administration of the Krasnodar Area on Strengthening of Control over Migration Processes on the Territory of the Krasnodar Area

Krasnodar area is now under surplus migration pressure. Local interior bodies have registered more than 165 000 persons who left conflict zones in the former Soviet Republics. Passport checks have revealed considerable number of migrants of other categories, who are permanently or temporarily staying in the area. Considerable number of migrants do not have citizenship of the Russian Federation and they arrive from the independent States of "near abroad" (former USSR).

A multinational migration flow threatens social and political stability in the area; real estate prices are going up enormously, property stratification of ethnic groups increases, thus creating conditions for inter-ethnic conflicts.

As a result of measures taken by the Administration and the Council of People's Deputies of the Krasnodar area the migration pressure diminished to some extent. However amendments to the Russian legislation as well as the practice of migration management call for improvement of the local legislation in the field of migration control.

For the purpose of management and control over migration in the Krasnodar area, reduction of political and social tension as well as regulation of normative documents on migration I RESOLVE:

- Standard form of invitation for temporary entry into the Krasnodar area (Attachment No. 6);

- Regulations for the work of the Commissions on migration control at the heads of city (regional) administrations of the area (Attachment No. 7).

3. Department of Internal Affairs of the Krasnodar area shall quarterly submit to the Department of nationalities and migration of the Administration of the Krasnodar area (Mr. Savva) the statistics on persons who were granted residence permit in the cities and villages of the area, with indication of their nationality and the ground on which the permit was granted.
