On June 3rd, law enforcement inspected approximately ten “places of attraction for foreign citizens,” including migration service organizations and construction sites throughout the city. Authorities checked about 5,000 foreigners and nearly 160 vehicles.

More than 200 migrants were taken to police departments for administrative proceedings due to various legal violations. State Traffic Inspectorate officers identified about 20 traffic violations.
