As it was reported earlier, RF Transportation Ministry published the draft Concept on reforming management system of Russia’s inland waterways. The document sets goals, tasks and mechanisms to implement national policy on the development of Russia’s inland waterways’ management system. The document is yet to be considered at the meeting of the RF Government.
