A meeting of members of the Government and the Presidential Administration of the Republic with representatives of the Department of Population Policy and Social Protection of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Russia has been held in the capital of South Ossetia. The delegation arrived in the Republic on a two day official visit.
During today's meeting were discussed the issues of the development and modernization of social protection system in South Ossetia.
Director of the Department of Population Policy and Social Protection Olga Samarina has noted that her department intends to organize a joint work with the South Ossetian colleagues to improve the social status of citizens of South Ossetia.
"Our work will focus on strengthening and improving the life of people living here, on strengthening our relationship, friendship and mutual understanding. I am sure that we will always be feeling your support, and you will be feeling the support of the Russian Federation in any initiatives, "- said Samarina. According to her, the Department covers the most key issues of life of the population of Russia, and its work is aimed at a positive resolution of social problems.
"Whatever happens in all states, it is social protection, which, by one way or another, should neutralize the consequences of any decisions or situations negative for the citizens," - said Samarina.
She has noted that in South Ossetia one should focus on the work in two global areas: development of a legal framework governing the measures of social supporting of certain groups and categories of people.
"The second area - providing social services that is associated with building a model of the way out of a difficult situation by personal, individual work with each recipient of the service", - added Samarina.
In her view, to simplify the development and adoption of the standard acts to provide social services in South Ossetia, it is necessary to carry out this work along with the similar moves in Russia, where a law on the principles of social services to the population is in the making.
