Medvedev to hold RF Security Council meeting on energy problems.
MOSCOW, December 13 (Itar-Tass) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
will hold the last in this year meeting of the Russian Security Council on
Monday. The Security Council meeting will be devoted to the state and
measures to ensure energy security in the country, the Kremlin press
service told Itar-Tass.
The president hopes that energy security is measured not only by cubic
meters of gas and barrels of oil. "Today we promote actively the
production of new knowledge and technologies, step up energy efficiency
and seek to make the production of energy resources safer for the
environment and their consumption more affordable for ordinary people,"
Medvedev stated earlier. "During the post-crisis restoration the
consumption of energy resources will keep growing, and the problem of
ecological responsibility of some countries is becoming more topical" that
sets the task to develop the production of new technologies.
Last summer the president instructed the government to develop a
system of benefits for the companies that use alternative sources of
energy. "Green (ecological - Itar-Tass) tariffs should appear," he said
with confidence.
.Parliamentary elections recognized valid in Dniester region.
TIRASPOL, December 13 (Itar-Tass) -- The parliamentary elections were
held in the Dniester Region on Sunday. According to preliminary reports,
over 39% from 404,000 voters participated in the elections. The turnout
was much higher than a 25% required level, the Central Elections
Commission of the self-proclaimed republic told reporters on Sunday.
"Currently all 259 polling stations are closed, local election
committees started the vote count, the preliminary results are expected to
be made public on Monday morning at the international press center in
Tiraspol," CEC chairman Pyotr Denisenko told reporters. "International
observers from Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, France, the Czech
Republic, Lithuania, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno Karabakh, Gagauzia
did not find any major violations that put into question the democratic
and lawful nature of the elections," he noted. "Only few minor violations
were reported, particularly those of photo and video recording at polling
stations and some other insignificant violations," Denisenko pointed out.
The elections were held under the majority system with 123 candidates
running for 43 seats in the Supreme Council (local parliament). About 10
political organizations from the Communists to the Liberal Democrats are
registered in the region. With all current disagreements in the issues of
home policy almost all of them adhere in their election programs to the
course for rapprochement with Russia and gaining independence from
Moldova. The observers called the Renovation Party the leading one in the
current elections. The party had most seats in the previous parliament.
.Medvedev pledges to punish all those staging Manezh Square riots.
MOSCOW, December 13 (Itar-Tass) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
pledged to punish all those who staged disorders on the Manezh Square on
Saturday.
"And the last thing for today. As far as the Manezh disorders are
concerned. All is under control in the country and Moscow. We will punish
all who were looting. All of them. Do not doubt," the president wrote down
in his Twitter blog on Sunday.
On Saturday, December 11, about 5,000 young people from football fans
to activists of nationalistic organizations came to the Manezh Square. At
first they gathered to commemorate a Spartak football fan Yegor Sviridov
killed in a massive brawl on the Kronshtadtsky Boulevard on December 6.
But later the demonstrators started chanting the slogans "Russia for
Russians!" and others, then lit up the petards and flares. Then the young
rioters started moving towards the Manezh exhibition hall and attempted to
break through the cordons. The rioters used all things falling in their
hands, particularly the decorations of a Christmas tree placed on the
Manezh Square, and hurled them on the police. Then a brawl sparked up
inside the mob. After that the OMON anti-riot police ousted the rioters
from the Manezh exhibition hall to the Moskva Hotel.
Some 65 people were detained in the disorders.
Some 29 people, including policemen, injured on the Manezh Square, are
undergoing treatment at the Moscow hospitals, sources in the Moscow
medical services told Itar-Tass.
More than 30 people were injured. Several hospitalized people are in
severe condition. Several OMON policemen also turned for medical aid. The
injured people sustained mainly bruises, blood lakes, brain concussions
and knife wounds. Several people received burns.
Most injured policemen were wounded, when they were attempting to
protect people from the Caucasus from the mob of raging fans.
