MOSCOW, December 5 (RIA Novosti) - President Vladimir Putin has instructed the head of the Kremlin administration to prepare amendments to a bill on non-profit organizations within five days. The president said the amendments should take on board recommendations from European colleagues, and reflect the concerns of the Russian Public Chamber and non-governmental organizations.
Putin said the bill is essential for ensuring security from the threat of hateful or terrorist ideology.
"Unfortunately, we encounter extreme trends in various directions and confessions, and this, being like the tip of an iceberg, forces us to tackle them with forceful means using law enforcement bodies," Vladimir Putin said.
Putin said he had sent Russian Justice Minister Yury Chaika to Strasbourg to hold consultations on the issue.
