Amendments have been introduced into presidential decree No.527 «On matters of setting up and using a video surveillance system in the interests of ensuring public order» of 28 November 2013. In line with the amendments the oblast executive committees and the Minsk City Executive Committee are supposed to update every year the lists of facilities that have to be fitted with video surveillance devices.

Presidential decree No.187 «On the republican public security monitoring system» of 25 May 2017 has been restated in a new edition taking into account the practical experience of using this system.

The new decree provides for also involving self-employed businessmen and legal entities in the organizational and financial support of the monitoring system. At the same time, natural persons and owners of residential premises in multi-apartment residential buildings are exempt from reimbursing the costs of the republican budget and from paying for electricity consumed by equipment of the republican public security monitoring system.

The new decree identifies the entities, which are exempt from reimbursing the costs associated with financing works (services) regarding the maintenance and operation of the monitoring system (public sector organizations, municipal organizations, state road construction and maintenance organizations, and other ones). At the same time, the list of these entities is not final and can be expanded upon a decision of the Belarus president.

The number of users of the republican public security monitoring system has been increased. Units of the Armed Forces in charge of operational and search activities and the protection of critical facilities have been added.

The decree provides for the possibility of using the monitoring system to record administrative offenses against traffic safety and the operation of transport.

The decree also introduces a number of other amendments designed to improve the pace and quality of development of the monitoring system.
