Apimtys ir skaičiai netenkina: Lietuvos premjeras ketina kovoti su kontrabanda
"Kontrabandos apimtys ir skaičiai manęs netenkina. Kontrabanda į Lietuvos teritoriją patenka ne tik oro balionais. Aš sakyčiau, kad transporto keliai tikriausiai dabar yra pagrindiniai. Tiesą sakant, šiek tiek liūdna, kad kartais perimame didelius šios kontrabandos kiekius iš Latvijos", - sakė Mindaugas Sinkevičius.
Jis pareiškė, kad reikalaus iš pareigūnų ir vadovų didesnės atsakomybės, kad kontrabandos mastai mažėtų.
"Reikia kovoti, dirbti, likviduoti tuos nusikalstamus tinklus. Ir čia aš spaudžiu ir spaudžiu. Reikalausiu pareigūnų ir vadovų atsakomybės, kad situacija pasikeistų". #social
