The Republican Public Organization "Veterans of War, Labor and Armed Forces of Pridnestrovie" was formed on a territorial basis. It consists of eight town and district divisions. More than twenty one thousand people are members of the organization. Among them there are about eighty veterans of the Great Patriotic War.
Today the PMR President talked with representatives of this organization. The conversation was organized in the format of video conference. Vadim Krasnoselsky referred it to the category of workshops, since the goal was to exchange relevant information, identify existing problems, and discuss ways to solve it.
The current activities of the veteran organization were discussed. They focused on the issues related to the registration and submission of reports, the provision of computer equipment and transport, furnishing of the working premises of the structural units of the Republican Public Organization “Veterans of War, Labor and Armed Forces of Pridnestrovie”. The topic of providing vouchers to Pridnestrovian health resorts on preferential terms was raised. It was noted that almost 4.9 million rubles were allocated for this purpose in the state budget of the current year. The "Dnestr" and "Dnestrovskie Zori" sanatoriums have already been visited by 120 disabled people of I and II groups, 623 labor veterans, 44 combatants, three widows of the defenders who died - 790 people in total. There are more than two dozen social vouchers available, which can be used until the end of the year, informed the Minister for Social Protection and Labor Elena Kulichenko.
Another topic of conversation is the provision of benefits to members of veteran organizations by transport organizations. Now this mechanism affects mainly residents of Tiraspol and Bendery who use electric transport. There is a request from residents of other cities and districts for discounted travel in public transport plying between the settlements of the republic. They said that in the capital and Bendery, veterans of the Great Patriotic War were given the opportunity to use free taxi services twice a month. There is an agreement on this score of local administrations with shipping companies. It was proposed to extend this mechanism to other regions. The Government will have to work out this issue and submit proposals for practical implementation.
Discussing issues related to the work of veteran organizations of educational and patriotic orientation, they touched upon the topic of preserving memorable places and attracting public attention to locations of historical importance. They mentioned the permanent fortification 24A located in the village of Podoima, which is part of the famous Stalin Line. The object was put in order by the forces of volunteers under the leadership of the veteran organization from Kamenka, but it is not registered with the state. It is necessary to conduct an initial inventory and certification. It was decided during the discussion to transfer the permanent fortification to the jurisdiction of the PMR Ministry of Defense. The President has given relevant instructions.
