Georgia, a country that has attained remarkable results in the eradication of corruption among the law enforcement bodies, will assist Moldova in the implementation of the police reform, Georgian First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Eka Zguladze, told a news conference today. Eka Zguladze heads a Georgian delegation which is on a working visit to Moldova. Eka Zguladze said that the police reform in Georgia was drastic and implied significant social spending. Although the move had been bitterly criticized by internal and foreign enemies, the bet - the country's statehood was worth it. "Georgia was the first country in the region to enforce this reform. Although at that point in time it was the country with the worst corruption indexes in Europe, we managed to prove that changes can be made," the Georgian official said. Attending the event, Prime Minister Vlad Filat, said that the reform of the Moldovan Interior Ministry, started in 2011, would be a long-lasting one and would benefit from the support of internal and foreign partners. Thus, 36 additional normative acts are to be adopted or radically changed within the first stage that will last till late 2012. The second stage will comprise the institutional reform that will be very visible. Asked by the journalists whether the Moldovan authorities are ready to promote tough reforms in this field, similar to the ones implemented in Georgia, Filat stressed that people unable to adapt to the new changes would have to resign from their posts, whereas those who have studies and skills would be promoted for leading posts. In the context, the prime minister said that he would leave for Georgia on 9 July 2012, in order to meet Georgian officials and to ask for consultancy and for the appointment of a permanent councillor in Moldova, for the promotion of the law enforcement bodies' reform. According to some recent polls carried out in Georgia, after the implementation of the police reform, 87 per cent of residents said that they trust the activity of the law enforcers and only 0.7 per cent of people encountered corruption cases among policemen.
